This fact is not documented on the emacs man page.

One finds that in emacs --help, but not on the man page. Same with
--maximized.
Well, the man page do say:
The primary documentation of GNU Emacs is in the GNU Emacs Manual,
which you can read using Info, either from Emacs or as a standalone
program. Please look there for complete and up-to-date documentation.
This man page is updated only when someone volunteers to do so; the
Emacs maintainers' priority goal is to minimize the amount of time this
man page takes away from other more useful projects.
You are free to update it if you wan't. I seems to have been updated last
2008-12-14, and the -Q and --maximized changes are earlier than that.
There are probably more such cases too.
P.S.,
$ cat ~/bin/emacs
emacs-snapshot -mm "$@"
#emacs-snapshot --maximized "$@"
The first line is compatible with -nw, the second causes an error!
Occasionally I use -nw and don't want an error to occur.
That was a bug, now fixed.
