A messagebox is a messagebox. Unlike objectboxes, they are not magically 
recreated. Instead, the internal binbuf gets cleared. Sending "set" 
messages to messageboxes isn't much different from sending a float to a 
[hsl] or [nbx] in "init" mode... and even in "no init" mode, if you look 
at saved files closely.

I think you need some categorisation of state with more than two levels, 
e.g.:

   1. purely volatile state;
   2. something that will be saved in the patch;
   3. something that will also be reloaded from file;
   4. dynamic patching: obj, msg, connect, ...
