It's possible to trigger the loadbang manually with a message to the subpatch, the objects are created in. For singleton.pd this subpatch's receiver is is pd-$0-container. Attached is a version of singleton which automatically sends a loadbang message to it. After I get over my jetlag, I'll consider making this the default in sssad's version of singleton.pd as well.
I think that this is a good idea. Loadbang should be called whenever an object is finished being connected/installed in the context where it is supposed to be. In some dynamic patching contexts this is not necessarily obvious, so the responsibility of calling loadbang is on the patch that does the dynamic patching. Sometimes it's still not obvious when should loadbang happen, but singleton is easy enough to figure out, and in general, every patch performing dynamic patching should call loadbang on any new objects, though it's possible that pd doesn't have the infrastructure to allow doing this in general in an easy way (?).
