The report below points out, in essence, that when we jump to a line with an emacsclient command such as

emacsclient --no-wait +55 "~/foo.tex"

then the line highlighting is not updated in hl-line-mode.

This turns out to be due to server-execute running the post-command-hooks without the right buffers being current, and hl-line-mode defines buffer-local hooks.   The patch below addresses that and I'm going to commit it unless somebody objects.
