#57217: emacs-app does not render

-----------------------+--------------------
 When starting emacs-app on Mojave, the content of the frame (OS-X window
 displaying Emacs) is not rendered. Instead I see a blank window. The
 editor is reactive, however, and it is possible to quit by closing the
 window, using the menu bar or the key combination C-x C-c.

 When started directly as
 `/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs` the program emits
 an error:

 {{{
 % /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs
 2018-10-02 19:56:08.859 Emacs[731:8025] Failed to initialize color list
 unarchiver: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4864 "***
 -[NSKeyedUnarchiver _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]:

 UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=*** -[NSKeyedUnarchiver
 _initForReadingFromData:error:throwLegacyExceptions:]: non-keyed archive
 cannot be decoded by NSKeyedUnarchiver}
 }}}

 The error is known upstream and discussed on emacs-devel:
 https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-09/msg00900.html

 Even if we just sit and wait for emacs upstream to fix the issue, that
 ticket is useful to point other MacPorts users to the emacs-devel
 discussion.

 I am running emacs-app @26.1_3 on Mojave. (MacPorts 2.5.3 installed from
 sources.)
