This is _not_ only with dynamically created objects.
It also happens with manually-created instances of abstractions 
containing dsp objects.

See the attached patch: open "test.pd", it contains a [catch~ audio] 
connected to the dac.
Then create in it an instance of [myabs~ 500]: it contains an osc 
connected to a [throw~ audio], and $1 is used as the frequency.

You will hear nothing.

Then create a [myabs~ 700]: now you'll start to hear the previously 
created one, but not the second. And so on.


So the bug also affects "officially supported" patching and it does 
matter, though only for "live patching" (everything works fine when you 
load a saved patch). When you know it it's not a major issue (or an 
issue at all), but until you realise it, it can be quite confusing when 
editing the patch and try to figure out what's going on...
