Umm might seem petty at this point to chime in, but I thought the basis was Japanese surrender wasn't so much about harm to the emperor, rather retention of his throne?
Had I been the one dictating terms, and facing a Japan with no navy or air force, that was crippled and isolated, and offering surrender, I wouldn't let him retain his throne; I certainly wouldn't kill him or use it as justification to drop nukes.
