JD> Well, -Q ignores X resources, try -q instead.

This fact is not documented on the emacs man page.

JD> You could try -mm also.

One finds that in emacs --help, but not on the man page. Same with
--maximized.

There are probably more such cases too.

P.S.,
$ cat ~/bin/emacs
emacs-snapshot -mm "$@"
#emacs-snapshot --maximized "$@"
The first line is compatible with -nw, the second causes an error!
Occasionally I use -nw and don't want an error to occur.
