The parser used in wikitext can be a bit confusing.

There are two important parts here, lists in wikitext are space separated 
and things between [[ and ]] are normally interpreted as literal titles 
(you show one exception where you have a | that separates the displayed 
text from the title it links to).

So [[a title]] being a link to a tiddler and 

title [[title with spaces]] somethingElse

is a list of 3 titles.

Both cases are dealing with titles as the atomic units where [[ and ]] 
aren't to show that it is a string with spaces, it is to show that it is a 
tiddler title. Depending on context a tiddler title can be a link or it can 
be an element in a list. Much of what tiddlywiki does is based around lists 
and titles.

There are very few limitations on what can be a title, so often anything 
between [[ and ]] is considered a literal title. The exception comes from 
filters which are actually a superset of the cases where you use [[ and ]] 
to denote a title with a string in it.

This explanation could get very long, so to prevent that the answer is that 
[[ and ]] is used consistently, but it isn't to show a string, it is to 
show a title. In wikitext without a special context like a widget a title 
written like that is converted into a link. So your example is being 
interpreted as linking to the tiddler with the title {{!!title}} because 
otherwise we would have to put restrictions on tiddler naming.
