Not if you had read the manual ;-) It is the documented behaviour:

   If you type `C-x C-c' (`save-buffers-kill-terminal') in an Emacs
frame created with `emacsclient', via the `-c' or `-t' options, Emacs
deletes the frame instead of killing the Emacs process itself.  On a
text-only terminal frame created with the `-t' option, this returns
control to the terminal.  Emacs also marks all the server buffers for
the client as finished, as though you had typed `C-x #' in all of them.

   When Emacs is started as a daemon, all frames are considered client
frames, so `C-x C-c' will never kill Emacs.  To kill the Emacs process,
type `M-x kill-emacs'.

(Quoted from "42.2 `emacsclient' Options")
