--text follows this line--

1. In the terminal, start the Emacs Daemon:
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --daemon

2. In the terminal, start a new Emacs Frame on the daemon:
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -c

3. The frame will not have focus. First focus it.

4. Use Apple-W to close the frame.

5. The GUI Emacs Application should still be running without any active
frames. Try opening one of the Menu's.

Emacs Crashes.

Checked in a fix for the crash just now, thanks for the report.   
Menus will not open, but this may not be fixable.  The issue here is  
that menus and their backing implementations are normally tied in  
Emacs to a specific frame, because X11 and Windows work this way.
