The original change that we're talking about was Debian #110226It doesn't say that xterm exits after doing either of those operations, but what is really unintuitive is that the behavior changes whether -h / -v is the first argument or not.
agreed. What I missed in the previous change was the end of the if-then-else chain, which reset the 'quit' variable. It's been too long ago to recall why I thought it was a good idea, and it's a simple change to force a quit as expected.
