This problem already has another fix, which isn't as known as it
should be. 

Instead of [r MEGA_HACKY_LOADBANG_MEGA_HACK] you should just send the
message "loadbang" to the subpatch's receiver: 

[; 
pd-subpatch obj 10 20 myabstraction;
pd-subpatch loadbang( 

See attached.

Why auto-generated abstractions don't receive a loadbang autoamtically
has been discussed several times in the past. I don't remember the
reasons, but there were reasons.
