With emacs-pgtk, the behavior is not the same: $ emacs foobar (emacs:3988): Gtk-WARNING **: 19:19:10.887: cannot open display: $ This impacted me because I neede to use a remote machine to do work via scripts (i.e. dch, debcommit) that call /usr/bin/editor and I found impossible to hand-specify emacs to use -nw; I ended up installing emacs-nox, but I don't find it to be an acceptable, transparent-enough solution.

This is a known problem with the PGTK build, for which unfortunately there's no known solution. See bug#63555 and bug#65886. Po Lu, it sounds like we need a PROBLEMS entry for this issue, as it comes up very frequently.
