This issue now affects the stable version.

To work around the issue you have to set Interface -> Start Up Location to Library. With this setting, the new client will respect -silent.

With any other setting, it will ignore -silent, and also revert the client to "Large mode" on startup, if you had previous set it to "Small mode".
