Okay, here's another test you could do to find out where declare tries
to add the stdpath

Make a patch with [declare -stdpath funkypathname] or another unique
name you definitely know doesn't exist, then load it while Pd was
started with "-verbose". Try to create an unknown object like
[unknown] and search for "funkypathname" in Pd's error output.

Btw.: When doing this on Linux with a testpatch in "/tmp/funkytest.pd"
my Pd searches for [unknown] give only /tmp/funkypathname/ as possible
results with the funky pathname, which is wrong: according to the
docs, -stdpath should search relative to the Pd binary, not relative
to the path, which is what [declare -path  ...] should do. Looks like
another [declare]-bug. (Maybe already reported?)

Ciao
