The option `-name NAME' is a standard X command line option (like a
couple of others like `-display' and `-g') that X client have to
understand.  Emacs interprets it as having to find its resources under
NAME instead of `emacs'.

No it doesn't.  Nothing of the X code gets initialized in that case.
(That should change once we're allowing tty frames and X frames in
parallel.)
