This problem is not related to multiclass externals (i.e. bundles) at
all: All patches that use a directory prefix to specify object names
break as soon as that directory name isn't available because it doesn't
exist. 

As pd-vanilla doesn't have most of the subdirectories in extra, that
pd-extended does, and as there is no common installer just for externals
yet, people who install their own externals may have them in whatever
directory. It all depends on their paths settings.
