the implicit conversion is simply incorrect for the [t a] case, while it works perfectly ok for all other cases. So, I am not so sure -- the [t a] feature was added on top of already existing implementation. Besides, it is too late for making the default Pd trigger fully Max-compatible. For the record, in Max: [t 1], for any input, outputs the integer 1, [t a], for any input, outputs the message 'a' ('a' is the selector) [t l] works pretty much like Pd's [t a] (horribly, it converts bang to 0 as well...)
Yeah, I think that PureData should be made compatible with Max only when there is no reason to do otherwise... If there are annoyances in Max then there should be no urge to duplicate them. Unfortunately there are also annoyances in PureData that just stay there because of inertia and backwards-compatibility.
