When one creates a page without a discussion page (say, when making a page on a work, thus bypassing YKTTW), and adds the page to the watchlist, the accompanying discussion page is not added to the watchlist, which means that if someone later creates the discussion page, people watching said page will never get a notification of the discussion going on.

It would be nice if this could be remedied somehow.

You could always drop and re-add the page to your watchlist. The discussion page should be added then.

Yes, but that is dependant on me KNOWING there's now a discussion page, which the watchlist doesn't do. Meaning that until I decide to go read those articles at the bottom of my watchlist, there's dicussion pages that can go unanswered for months...

Create the discussion page yourself before you watch?
