Well, this is not a workaround in my case, since I do not necessarily
want the "-nw" and the "&" (that was just for testing). But thanks to
your explanations, I could find a workaround:

1. Instead of using a shell function, use a script.

2. And in the script, replacing

  emacs "$@"

by

  exec emacs "$@"

seems to avoid the problem, because the subshell is replaced by
emacs (I can do this because emacs is the last command).
