Can you give some examples?

I can't think of any program I have seen the same thing happen with.

It is also uncommon to ssh to a machine, ask an already running program
to open a window on the remote screen, close the window and log out,
without quitting the entire program.

But that's of course exactly what I want to do with Emacs.

Sounds likely, so I just need to figure out what it is and how to avoid
it ;-)

(Running emacsclient with nohup exhibits the problem, so it isn't as
simple as stdin/stdout/stderr.)
