Most importantly, it affected the question we ask there if the file is
gone.

You mean, errors inside find-file-noselect?  Maybe I'm missing
something, but I'd expect such an error to be displayed as usual.  Can
you simulate an error there and see what happens?

Also, an important use case is when the file visited by the client
with -t has an auto-save file.  Emacs should display a message in that
case; can you see if it gets displayed, so the user could see it?
(It's possible that the message is overwritten by "When done with a
buffer, type ..." which the server always displays, but it's important
that the user could see the message about auto-save file for a second
or so.)
