No.
If emacs is not running, activating it via either icon or "open -a
emacs" launches to the scratch buffer, ignoring any parameter or dropped
file/folder.
If emacs *is* running, it works as before, opening the requested item.
So somewhere in the new launching sequence, emacs is ignoring its
parameter.
