the send/receive "magic" in the iemguis are explicitely designed to allow the same send/receive names in order to sync several different objects.
So is it a bug that sending input to the inlet of one GUI doesn't set the value for all other GUI's with the same send/receive name?
no. it's a "side effect" (if you are nasty, you could also call it a "bug" with "won't fix" status :-)).
the rule is simple: if (and only if) a iemgui object has the same send- & receive-name, then it will not pass (be it via send or via it's outlet) any messages it gets (be it via receive, or via it's inlet).
this rule effectively prevents feedback loops when sharing send/receive names, while still allowing to update controllers individually.
