I think your notion of "current buffer" is not the same as
`current-buffer'.  You probably want "the buffer displayed in the
`selected-window'".

Of course, the selected-window may also be temporarily changed, but
I think

   emacsclient -e "(window-buffer (selected-window))"

will more often give you what you're looking for.
