(This bug report unfortunately got no response at the time.)

The result is always nil, yes -- but if you use the frame as a parameter
to that function, you get the correct results:

(setq after-make-frame-functions
      (list
       (lambda (frame)
         (message "frame: %s %s" frame (display-graphic-p frame)))))

./lib-src/emacsclient -c

frame: #<frame GNU Emacs at xo 0x5574a438f338> t

This seems to be fixed, though.  It now just reports an error:

*ERROR*: Unknown terminal type

So I think everything here works as designed, and I'm closing this bug
report.  If there's more to be done here, please respond to the debbugs
address and we'll reopen.
