IOhannes is correct in that "-lib" behavior hasn't changed (I just tested with 0.45). Considering this, it's probably wise not to change it now, although I feel more sympathy with the use case you described. I don't see anything wrong with having to use [declare -stdlib zexy -lib zexy] in case I want to cover both, relative to calling patch and all standard paths.
so what to do now?
Considering your points[*], it should probably stay as it is.

nevertheless here's some things to consider:
- backward compatibility (since it seems that no known version of Pd had
the dont-search-stdpath behaviour)
- consistency with startup flags ("pd -lib foo" will search both the
"-path" paths and the standard paths)
- iictc it's fairly trivial to make it very likely that a library is
loaded only from a patch-local directory, even if "-lib" does search the stdpath:
[declare -lib byzantium2016/zexy]
while this will try to load "/usr/lib/pd/extra/byzantium2016/zexy/zexy.pd_linux", chances are rather low that this actually exists and so it will happily only load the türkçe zexy besides the patch. but of course this is rather a hack...
