"init" is one of many messages that Pd and its gui send back and forth, which aren't intended to have any user-level functionality... of course, some of those messages like "connect" have proved useful at the user level; but none of them are guaranteed to do anything useful or even to be safe. The only one that's "supported" is "dsp" for turning audio computation on and off.
It's not "supported", not guaranteed and not intended to be used, yet if you'd remove support for that, people would scream like crazy. It's a bit like illegal immigrants: the state won't give them an official status and the state can't function without them.
Which reminds me. Somewhere in my PD research, I stumbled across a list of "undocumented" PD commands. Things which would perform some useful actions on the engine.
Google hasn't helped me find it. I'd like to have this around in case it becomes useful. Any idea where it might be?
