expr can give you inf/nans eventually, but it was not originally part of pd's core

Many math objects in pd have protection against nan/inf, not only in the audio control. It is the official policy

there's no other sane way to handle division by 0 in the audio domain since the result must be a number and there are only two options: output 0 or some ridiculously large number (which would be quite dangerous).

Yes, but if you try division by a very small number close to zero you still get very large numbers that audio hardware will clip to +-1; the singularity at zero is weird.
