[Conkeror] OS X issues

Hi,
I had an opportunity to try Conkeror on OS X, and there are a couple
of puzzling issues.
1) I installed by the method:
xulrunner-bin -install-app /path/to/conkeror
When I run conkeror.app, it attempts to browse to
http://www.-foreground.com/. Obviously, something is trying to pass a
command line switch `-foreground' to conkeror, which, since it is not a
valid switch, conkeror tries to read as an url. Where is this
-foreground switch coming from? I found nothing about it in the
xulrunner docs. Is it a mac thing?
As a correlary of this issue, I suggest that conkeror treat unknown
command line switches (any unhandled arg that begins with `-') by
issuing a console warning.
2) The bindings `M-<', `M->', and `M-:' don't work. In fact, they make
my mac beep, which suggests to me that the OS is grabbing them before
conkeror can see them.
Any mac users out there that can provide insight on either of these problems?
