I have exactly the same problem, and I am not sure exactly what is
happening.  I think it might be the same problem I have with Stuart when
the window comes up and nothing happens in it, that the /dev/ttyp# is owned
by someone else.  I don't know how emacs "gets" a tty, but perhaps it is
changing ownership of the tty _after_ attempting to get it, then allowing
your second try to be successful.

Only an opinion.  If anyone knows the REAL answer...
