Those are different. The first three all get an own call of
toplevel-markup-handler while the third is a single call. The following
would be equivalent:
\markup \italic "foo-1"
\markup \italic "bar-1"
\markup \italic "buzz-1"
\markuplist \italic { "foo-2" }
\markuplist \italic { "bar-2" }
\markuplist \italic { "buzz-2" }

LilyPond is a complex system. Expecting things is likely to end up in
surprises anyway. Much of the time I answer questions I check the code
before feigning competence.
