I'm wondering why the status of the bug was downgraded to "wishlist"? The report did not talk about feature request, but reported a misbehaving functionality.

The suggested workaround (making custom function) is not feasible, because "-q" option suppresses loading "~/.emacs" => thus user functions are not available for calling[1]. The ability to use standard command line options (for any program) is still not handled correctly.

[1] Normally ~/.emacs startup file contains many customizations that take time to load; therefore skipping ~/.emacs is desireable. The command line options presented in the bug report tailor Emacs to start quickly for editing.
