I admit that it's a bit strange, that a naked "bang" message gives a different error message (no method for "bang") than a bang sent through [t a] (no method for "list"), but otherwise the error

In [select] or in [t a]? And is it really a bug?
It's a bug in the error message, at the very least. This stuff needs
to be consistent, otherwise it makes it hard to understand and
debug. If [list( is equal to [bang( then it always needs to be equal
to [bang(. Right now, it is only sometimes equal to [bang(
Try defining the current behavior, then I think it's more clearly a
bug. "An empty [list( is a bang unless you are sending to the right
inlet of some objects, like [select]."
