While working through this, I found a tangentially-related bug that 
occurs regardless of whether 'server-stop-automatically' is set: 
bug#58909. Since the discussion here is pretty long already, I opted to 
file a new issue for it, but in practice, it might be easier to write a 
patch that fixes both this bug and that one; there's a fair amount of 
crossover in the code for these.
