Ah, that's interesting.
Note that I can do
emacs -q {-q ~= --vanilla : no initialization whatsoever}
ask for process-connection-type and it's always true (t) on both
Unix versions I've available (Solaris, Linux).
In other words, I think your "OS_X emacs" should be configured
such that this is set to true early enough in order to behave
like other emacsen.
