I'd say that's a bug of (aquamacs) emacs. When emacs is launched, it should properly open the file and at the correct line, no matter whether the buffer was already open or not. This is all done by and the responsibility of the emacsclient utility. In fact, nothing you say here has anything to do with Skim -- apart from the fact that you can use a script to force emacs to be launched, to work around some of these problems. >> With my download of the latest Spring Carbon Emacs, if Emacs hasn't >> been >> started, nothing happens.

It only makes sure that the emacs server is started, so Skim (or anyone else) can connect to it for *backward search* (i.e. to open the file in Emacs from Skim). And whether that line is necessary with the newer versions of emacs, I do not know. IMO emacs should always start the server when it launches, so that line would not be necessary. If backward search works for you without that line, it means that it's not necessary.
