#1161 [value] issues error if a message is sent to a target with the same name

[sistisette]

0.43-4 Extended

This will reproduce the issue:

[v xxx]

[67(
|
[s xxx]

Click on the message box.

Expected result: nothing (or is it supposed to set the value? If so, it's not documented).

Observed result:
Error on the console:
value: no method for 'float'

Additionally, the error is not trackable, i.e. cannot be found by "Find last error", which is especially hateful.
Untrackable errors should be erradicated from Pd completely.
