open nextstep/Emacs.app --args -Q
C-x d
it prompts with /

It used to be the $HOME directory.

Is it changed intentionally recently?

If I don't give -Q, it prompts with $HOME.  Must be a general change w.r.t. -Q.

With or without -Q it always give me  / as the prompt, so does -q.

I wonder how it works in other desktop environments.

I haven't noticed such a change (it would be a weird thing to do IMO),
I'd check what eg emacs 24.3 or an xterm does when opened from the Dock.
(Maybe you have something in .emacs that changes PWD?)

AFAIK, It uses whatever working directory the launcher sets up,
which I guess is HOME in 99+% of cases.

Hello.

I've checked 24.3 and 10.7/10.8:

open Emacs.app --args -Q  => /
open Emacs.app                  => $HOME
From Dock                           => $HOME

So dock starting at / must be a local thing.  Check your .emacs and environment set by launchd.

The -Q behaviour may very well be NS-specific, but it isn't new.
I see no bug here, closing.

sorry to have missed filling the details while filing the report.

As YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu describes in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-10/msg00498.html

I can confirm that the -psn_* option is no longer passed as args when
launched from GUI under OSX 10.9.

Ok, I tried a different GUI-detection in the trunk.
