I don't regard this as a patch-level incompatibility (I believe you can run all the patches -- only now you'll have to add 6 directories to Pd's search path). But it's a serious inconvenience for sure. But the old behavior was seriously broken and I don't see any good way to provide it without causing trouble and confusion. I'm open to ideas...
