I don't know Pd's internals nearly as good as you, but still it seems to me, that suicides in the middle of a logical step have pitfalls. As Thomas wrote, a suicidal object should not generate further messages. However this suicidal object may already have scheduled further messages. What happens to other branches after the suicidal object, e.g.:
[r y] |[symbol x] | [t a b] | | | [s kill-symbol-x] | [s y]
i don't see a problem with the following signal flow (indentation represents the message stack):
symbol x, execute outlet 1 t a b, execute outlet 2 s kill-symbol-x, mark 'symbol x' deletable t a b, execute outlet 1 s y, send r y, receive symbol x, set object symbol x, returning from outlet 1, as it's marked as deletable, remove it from the interpreter
