Is it illegal to send a "receive whatever" message to a non-GUI receive?
It is not illegal, but personally I consider renaming receives in GUI objects a last resort, as this makes reading and understanding patches much, much harder and can lead to subtle logic errors. For example I had a rather hard time figuring out what your patch is supposed to do by looking at it, until I opened all GUI objects to find the one which has the "raty" or "nothing" receive.
In your patch it is not necessary to make things so complicated. Using a [spigot] makes everything much clearer, at least accoding to my taste.
Also your "set set $1" construct could be replaced by a simple [f] where you can use the cold right inlet to store a number without outputting until a bang arrives at the hot left inlet.
I illustrated this in the attached patch based on your previous mute.pd
