No.

Here are all the ways we have found that make the problem go away:

--eval "(modify-frame-parameters nil '((inhibit-double-buffering . t)))"

--eval "(setq frame-title-format \"foo bar foo\")"

--eval "(modify-frame-parameters nil '((undecorated . t)))"

When any of these arguments is passed to Emacs, the problem does not 
reproduce anymore.

The command doesn't trigger Emacs to visit a file, though.

So I mean the delay between me either

- Pressing 'a' in one scenario (the 'emacs -Q ...' one)
- Or pressing 'C-x b xas RET' (using Ido completion with my config)

and the buffer's text being displayed.
