that is not strange at all. that is how pd $-expansion works.

[list hey you(
will have a "selector" or "list-id" called "list" which you cannot 
expand using $args.the first item in the list is "hey" ($1) and the 2nd 
is "you" ($2).
the same is true is you have a message [bi ba bo(, $1=="ba", $2=="bo" 
and "bi" is the message-selector which not $-expandable.

this has been discussed to death, so i propose to read the 
list-archives; additionally you might find some helpful hints in the 
pd-documentation and at http://puredata.info/dev/PdDefinitions
