You may try using StartsOnPage style. Like this
AddToFunc InitFunction
+ I Style Emacs StartsOnPage 2 0
+ I exec emacs
+ I wait Emacs
+ I Style Emacs StartsAnyWhere
here we set style for emacs to appear on page 2 0 , then wait for window to
appear and then remove the style just in case you want to launch other
emacses in current page. I didn't test it though, try on your own risk :-)

Documentation says 'Wait' will wait until window appears, no timeouts apply.

I don't think they've broken this. Maybe there are some other issues.
