With the current trunk:

emacs -Q &
M-x server-start RET
and  from the same terminal do:
emacsclient -t

This results in:
[1]  + Suspended (tty output)        emacs -Q

This is a regression, it works just fine in 24.1

Both do exactly the same.

Thanks for eliminating that possibility.

Also I think that the "USG5" case did not work in the original code, I
vaguely remember that this problem happened on Solaris a few years ago.
I don't have easy access to a Solaris machine to confirm....

Thanks for the diagnosis.  I installed what I hope is a fix for the
problem as trunk bzr 111478; please give it a try.  I don't know how
to fix the problem on platforms that lack TIOCNOTTY, but perhaps platforms
that lack TIOCNOTTY won't have the problem.  I can see why the old USG5
code didn't work; the code I installed shouldn't have that problem
(for platforms that have TIOCNOTTY).

BTW, I think you maintain the git mirror.  I first tried to used git
bisect to find the origin of this issue, and could now.
Now that the bad commit has been identified I tried to use git bisect again to
see if it can find it.

I set the good version to be the one before the problem commit, and then
run 
git bisect bad
git bisect bad
git bisect bad
[etc]

It should have stopped and the bad commit, instead it stopped at a different commit.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there's a problem in the repository?
Here's what

It works fine on GNU/Linux, I did not try it anywhere else.

Sorry, can you please explain what you mean?
The log I shown involved no testing, just running git commands to see if
it converges to the right point (which is now known...)...

Because I've identified the bad commit otherwise.
Then I set 
git bisect good BLAH

where BLAH is the commit just before the bad one.

doing a sequence of
git bisect bad

should converge on the bad commit, not before that, which is what
happened in this case.

I don't think I misidentified anything.

Can you please try this exercise?
The bad commit is 1f8a924624b967c7626ce3f06e6ee3014ad42d2b
Anything after it is bad.
The one before it, f0d19abcc35c104cdf956caecce314bf456a5e3a (and anything before it) is good.

With these, I don't get git bisect to converge on the bad commit...
