no.
it's a "side effect" (if you are nasty, you could also call it a "bug"
with "won't fix" status :-)).

the rule is simple:
if (and only if) a iemgui object has the same send- & receive-name, then
it will not pass (be it via send or via it's outlet) any messages it
gets (be it via receive, or via it's inlet).

this rule effectively prevents feedback loops when sharing send/receive
names, while still allowing to update controllers individually.
