Funny, I'm using that since years and it absolutely "always" works here (on Linux) both for adding new devices or replugging previously unplugged MIDI devices. I'm not using Pd on Windows, though. But I can't see why Pd itself would behave differently on Windows. Whenever you send a (properly formatted) message to the midi-dialog it will activate anything that is connected at that moment.
