Apparently the __argvemulator_idle parameter takes care of the 
-psn_xxxxx option, but not if there are other options inbetween. 
Rearranging the sys.argv manipulation helped:

> sys.argv.insert(1, "-Qnew")
> sys.argv.append("-n")

Short summary (correct me if I'm wrong)
- options for python itself should go to the front of sys.argv
- options for the invoked python program should go the the end of 
sys.argv
- inbetween argvemulator is doing some magic with Finder supplied 
arguments

Regards and thanks for the quick help!
