Yes.

Why does this matter?  Your patch doesn't eliminate initial_argv, so
initial_argv[0] still holds the name of the Emacs program, albeit only
in the form it was provided by the calling shell.  Right?  If so, then
for reporting errors (and ones that should never happen at that), I
don't see any need to jump through hoops.
