You have hit a bug! "fwd" is internally used by signal inlets to
forward messages to the (new) second outlet, but it accidentally
broke "fwd" messages for non-signal inlets. I've just pushed a fix
to the develop branch.</p>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Dear people
In my role as village idiot, I am asking whether the string "fwd" in a message has a
special meaning to inlet.
Naively, I was expecting inlet to pass the string to the subpatch, but it seems not
to. See example patch attached.
Outlet behaves as I was expecting and inlet will pass "symbol fwd".
Clearly, I have failed to grasp something simple, but what?
In case this is version specific behaviour, I am using Pd 0.51.0 on Linux.
All the best
