It's documented (try 'emacsclient --help' if you don't want to read it all)
that emacsclient from the development version you're using has the '-c' option
for creating a new frame. It vanishes again after you quit with 'C-x #'. 

I think this is the behaviour you're looking for.

GNU Emacs 23 also has the "multi-tty" capability added, meaning that you can
use emacsclient to open up new frames either on your X display or in the
console/xterm from the *same* instance of your running emacs. That makes it
possible to start an emacs in a "GNU Screen" session in the background. Use
emacsclient calls to open up frames on the device of your choice. With that, 
you can
even log out of X without losing your emacs session.
