The 1st circle is under the 2nd, and Pd currently registers a click with the object at the bottom. But is that a feature or a bug?

Either way, if it's implementation specific it then writing the patch as you suggest would work correctly under one implementation

while it wouldn't the move the circle at all under the other.

Subject: Re: [PD] Data structure array with last element pointing back to first element

wouldn't it be simpler to compare the value of the 1st point with the last one, without creating the new variables? it's too late now, can't give a concrete example.

or, this is a situation where a "change" identifier for arrays would come in very handy (which already exists for loose pointers). then the metro hack wouldn't be necessary.

-c is the same as curve, right? an extra parameter for the stepness of the bezier would also be nice
