Aha! There *is* a recent change in src/emacs.c applying to the
NS_IMPL_COCOA port.  Perhaps this is the culprit:

   if (!noninteractive)
     {
 #ifdef NS_IMPL_COCOA
-      if (skip_args < argc)
+      /* Started from GUI? */
+      /* FIXME: Do the right thing if getenv returns NULL, or if
+         chdir fails.  */
+      if (! inhibit_window_system && ! isatty (0))
+        chdir (getenv ("HOME"));
+      else if (skip_args < argc)
         {
-         /* FIXME: Do the right thing if getenv returns NULL, or if
-            chdir fails.  */
           if (!strncmp (argv[skip_args], "-psn", 4))
             {
               skip_args += 1;
