That's a somehow known bug with how pd-extendend and cyclone work together. I don't know if there is a fix for it yet.
Which reminds me: The abstraction you see is the cyclone "pddp-meta"-patch. These are always called just like the library, which suddenly to me doesn't seem like a good idea, because if you import that library it introduces an avoidable nameclash with the library itself, if or maybe with other objects.
Assume I made a library to deal with textfile-managing and I wanted to call it "textfile". Then the metafile would be "textfile.pd" but it would nameclash with the [textfile] builtin.
I believe, the meta-file should have a different name composed of the library name and an additional post- or prefix, like "cyclone-PDDP.pd", or live in a "meta" subdirectory or something like that. Comments?
We've honed the design of the meta stuff a bit in the PDDP, so this
is old. I am updating the relevant stuff now.
The libdir meta file will be $LIBRARY-meta.pd, i.e. cyclone-meta.pd,
fixing the above issue. The meta subpatch is standardized on [pd META].
Look for these changes in tomorrow's nightly builds.
