pattrhub can't access autopattr in subpatch ?

    I'm just learning the pattr system and I've come across a strange behaviour.
    In a subpatch (abstraction) there's a named flonum and an autopattr object.
    In the parent patch, there's a pattrstorage and a pattrhub.
    When I try to change or get the flonum's value via the pattrhub nothing happens!
    The subpatch is named 'sub' and the flonum 'a'. I send a "sub::a 0.3" or "getsub::a" message to the pattrhub.
    Strangely, a pattrstorage in the same parent patch sees the flonum and it can store and restore its value.
    When I exchange the autopattr for a binded pattr, setting/getting values via the pattrhub works too!
    Is this a bug or am I missing something here?
    Thanks!

      ok, I found the solution myself.
      I just realized, that you can also get/set pattr values with [pattrstorage]. This works fine with autopattr in sub-patches, too!
      So i suppose, there really seems to be a bug in the communication between pattrhub and autopattrs in sub-patches, because in the same patcher level they work together flawlessly.
