You need something like [list] just after [route], because [route] 
converts the $1 of 'label' into a selector (the header of the message), 
and [list] converts the selector back into a $1 (except if the header is 
'list', 'symbol', 'float', 'bang', or 'pointer').

If you want a no-exceptions, no-verbosity solution, there is [route3] in 
GridFlow 9.11, which replaces any selector by 'list', and there is also 
[route2] in GridFlow 8.4 (and later), which preserves all messages as-is.
