It's been over a month with no complaints, so I'm closing this bug report.

If I have Emacs (OSX App) started in daemon mode, and then create a
GUI frame, e.g. emacsclient -c, an instance of Emacs.app starts,
which then does not go away when the frame is closed with C-x C-c.
Most menu items, even ones such as "New Frame (C-x 5 2)" that seem
like they should make sense without a frame, are unresponsive.

The app is also unable to respond to s-q, though it does respond to the
"Quit Emacs (Command-Q)" item in the App menu, which C-h k shows
as sending <ns-power-off> rather than a <menu-bar> sequence.

I'm not sure what behavior should be expected here. In order of my
personal preference:

1. Keep the app open, and most menu commands should open a new
   frame.

2. Somehow (is this possible?) close the app instance without shutting
   down the daemon process, when there are no frames.

3. Somehow create a separate app instance for each emacsclient -c
   process.
