Strange... I know it's enabled by default on Vanilla, plus it's mentioned in the page you posted. But there's no -noautopatch to disable that feature, so what's the meaning of having this flag since it's there by default and you can't disable it?
i'm not sure i can follow that sentence. anyhow:
Pd-vanilla has autopatching enabled by default and you can disable it globally with the "-noautopatch" flag. Pd-vanilla 0.46 also has a "-autopatch" flag, that allows you to globally (re)enable this feature (e.g. to override the "-noautopatch" flag another you has put into your pd-settings).
Pd-extended has autpatching disabled (iirc due to user requests) but allows to enable it on a per-window basis. Pd-extended also inherits all startup flags from Pd-vanilla (so that's why you have a "-noautopatch" flag to disable an already disabled feature). obviously, Pd-extended only inherits the flags from the Pd-vanilla version it is based on. Since Pd-vanilla 0.43 did not yet have the "-autopatch" flag and nobody thought about adding one to Pd-extended, it is missing.
btw, the FAQ explicitely mentions that the flags it lists are for Pd-0.46-1; so it cannot be 100% applied to PdX-0.43
