It's very clearly a bug in gnuserv.el.
For one, it should not replace kill-buffer with server-kill-buffer
(it should use defadvice instead and this only if kill-buffer-hook is not
enough), and if that's really not an option, it should be super-extra
careful to reproduce every detail of the behavior of kill-buffer,
after having properly M-x report-emacs-bug to describe the missing feature
that forced such a butt-ugly workaround.
