I'm sorry, I seem to have made a total hash of explaining something really
simple. In effect, I want kill-emacs-and-exec, which takes a list of
arguments, runs kill-emacs, and then execs the argument list.

In fact, since kill-emacs can't currently take a list, it could be extended
to do so.

save-buffers-kill-emacs could be likewise extended.

Does that make sense now?
