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 :-)
