As a workaround you might be able to use `debug-on-error':

emacs --batch --eval '(setq debug-on-error t)' --eval '(this-function-does-not exist)'
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function this-function-does-not)
  (this-function-does-not exist)
  eval((this-function-does-not exist))
  command-line-1(("--eval" "(setq debug-on-error t)" "--eval"
  "(this-function-does-not exist)"))
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

[No idea why stack-trace-on-error does not work]
