i think that this should be handled by Pd itself: Pd knows that there _is_ an objectclass [vcf_filter~]. Pd then calls the constructor of this objectclass which fails. So Pd should be aware that this is not an "unfound" class but a class that could not create for _other_ reasons.
in this case, Pd could expose the possibility to access the help-file even though the object cannot create.
i have submitted feature-request #1907998 that asks for this.

any chance of fixing it by setting a default value instead? Or maybe have it instatiate but do nothing without an argument. I think it can be quite confusing and annoying if you need an argument to instantiate. For example, I often create an object to open the hlep patch. That wouldn't work here.

i have fixed this in CVS by replacing A_DEFSYM by A_SYMBOL in vcf_filter~:323
this makes [vcf_filter~] refuse to create when no argument is given instead of crashing pd
