Try this:
<$vars lb="[[" rb="]]">
<$select field="blocker" default="select a task...">
<option disabled>select a task...</option>
<$list filter='[!is[system]!status[completed]tag[task]sort[title]]'>
<option value={{{ [{!!title}addprefix<lb>addsuffix<rb>] }}}>
<$view field= 'title'/>
</option>
</$list>
</$select>
</$vars>
Note:
* The $vars defines two variables that contain the literal "[[" and "]]"
text
* The $vars is needed because you can't use literal square brackets as text
within the filter syntax, since they would be interpreted as part of the
filter syntax itself (i.e., you can't write ...addprefix[[[]... or
...addsuffix[]]]...)
* The option entries use the value=... parameter with filtered transclusion
syntax to add the bracket prefix and suffix around the selected value
