A way around is to start with -Q and load init-file interactively.
However then saving options via customize isn't possible, which seems a bug.
No, it's a deliberate feature.  From the Emacs manual:

      If Emacs was invoked with the `-q' or `--no-init-file' options
   (*note Initial Options::), it will not let you save your customizations
   in your initialization file.  This is because saving customizations
   from such a session would wipe out all the other customizations you
   might have on your initialization file.


Hmm, maybe not link saving and wiping out?
What is the rational for theses connection?

What about having these separated and a command "clear customizations"?
