Bash parses and runs a script exactly the same as something on the 
commandline (with the possible exceptions of "!" and "#" but that's not 
relevant here)

You must mean .pdrc, which is *not* run as a shell script. However, I have 
just tried without -open and it still works the same. The main difference 
between .pdrc and bash (both script and commandline) is that .pdrc lacks 
quoting, which makes it not possible to specify spaces in paths because 
what pd parses "foo bar" as, bash would get it from "\"foo" "bar\"".
