This bug in [sqrt~] was reported on the list some time ago. It is in nightly builds of Pd-extended 0.43.1. There is a bug report on the bugtracker. Consider adding a comment there with the build details.

Done!
In the meantime, you could use [pow~] with exponent 0.5. But, while I'm typing this and check if it's true, I notice that [pow~]'s arguments are swapped again. In 0.42.5 it was finally matching [pow] (base at left inlet and exponent at right inlet, so you can also type the exponent as init argument) and now it's back again the 'wrong way round'. What could be the rationale behind this? In vanilla 0.43.1test5 it is 'the right way round', with exponent at the right inlet. But in vanilla, [pow~]'s init argument is ignored without warning. Two more buglets to be reported and fixed...
Hopefully this should also be fixed now since d_math.c is included again in Pd-extended. My guess is that it was caused by not having 'vanilla' as a startup lib, therefore it would find pow~ from cyclone first.
