Per the docs:
title is a constructor
<https://tiddlywiki.com/#Selection%20Constructors> (except in the form
!title)
This means that when you put title[This tiddler does not exist] you
actually *create* a list item.
Switch the filters around:
[title[This tiddler does not exist]is[tiddler]]
and (2nd filter)
[title[This tiddler does not exist]is[missing]]
Good luck,
