It doesn't work with objects that use t_canvasenvironment, such as 
GridFlow's [args], but also, [canvasargs] and other similar things... 
whenever an abstraction looks up its own dir or search path.

the exact quote, from the g_canvas.c definition:

struct _canvasenvironment {
     t_symbol *ce_dir;      /* directory patch lives in */
     int ce_argc;           /* number of "$" arguments */
     t_atom *ce_argv;       /* array of "$" arguments */
     int ce_dollarzero;     /* value of "$0" */
     t_namelist *ce_path;   /* search path */
};
