Right. That's correct. That's why they're not equivalent. Filter syntax has special use cases for when filter runs start with + - ~, but lists don't care about that. A word starting with + - ~ in a list is just interpreted as part of the tiddler title. I think the list parser should treat them as special cases, just as the filter parser does.
