Hi Alastair,
I'm revising old Emacs bugs in Debian.

I'm not sure what you want to achieve here...
The --terminal option needs a device as argument, so your command cannot
possibly work. You need something like
$ emacs --terminal /dev/pts/1 foo.txt
although the effects of this are rather funny, I admit.

Here --t is taken as an abbreviation of --title; that seems to be a
buglet, since the abbreviation is ambiguous. Note that Emacs does not
use getopt(3) but rather its own argument parsing function.
Regards,
Sven
