That patch works fine for me.

Here is a related problem:  Suppose there is no server running.  Then
the shell command

emacsclient --alternate-editor=emacs-21.3 foo

opens emacs-21.3, but with the funny WINDOW title 

"address@hidden"

while the title should be

"address@hidden"

However the shell commands

emacsclient --alternate-editor emacs-21.3 foo
emacsclient -a emacs-21.3 foo

work fine.


Another minor thing:  I usually use a non-installed emacs compiled
from the CVS sources.  This gives problems, too.  The shell command

/var/tmp/cvs/emacs/lib-src/emacsclient 
--alternate-editor=/var/tmp/cvs/emacs/src/emacs foo

returns warnings and an error:
