I run Emacs on Mac OS X as a server. What I don't do is "emacs --daemon". I launch Emacs and then "M-x server-start RET". This seems to avoid any weird issues.

I use the "ec" script show here: http://emacsformacosx.com/tips



alias edemon='/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --daemon"

will give you a more helpful alias.
