Error/Bug? [grab] doesn't send [bang] via [output] if inside subpatch

Does anyone know what [grab] has with just sending a bang via [output]?

So I am trying to send a [bang] from within a subpatch via [grab]'s second output and it doesn't work. Max Window reports: <> which is a bit peculiar.

There are no problems if I don't use this combination (bang+grab+outlet)!

I presented all in this small patch:

Max Patch
Copy patch and select New From Clipboard in Max.

Grab needs to be directly connected to the thing it's grabbing. It doesn't work though inlets/outlets.
