The there are some command-line arguments to emacs must be at the
beginning of the common line, and if they are, they must appear in a
specific order. If you violate the order, the out-of-order arguments
will be interpreted as buffer names. This is documented in the man page
and in the emacs info documentation for `emacs,' but not very clearly or
correctly in either. (It never has been.) I will make sure it is
explained better when I submit a new man page. I will also update the
info file to describe the additional arguments which are not described
there.
