I believe open just passes filename args, probably because it
canonicalizes them before passing to LaunchServiced. So it passes
args, just not *any* args (and if you think about passing context
across address spaces, it even makes sense).

Well, I have not run 10.4 for a number of years now, but it certainly
works on 10.5, so get off the stick and upgrade already. Leopard was
released over a year ago!
Hm, it does not take arguments on 10.5.5 (9F33) for me either.
$ open -a /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app -nw foo
open: invalid option -- w
Usage: open [-e] [-t] [-f] [-W] [-n] [-g] [-h] [-b <bundle
identifier>]
[-a <application>] [filenames]
Help: Open opens files from a shell.

Don't know what other version of 10.5 you are using, but I doubt it's
something that was released to the public if it is working there :-)
