Keep in mind that *rendering* (displaying) the value of a field causes it
to be "wikified". Thus, I assume that all three outputs above rendered as
links. This is because the first is a WikiWord and is automatically
linked, and the others are explicitly surrounded by doubled square brackets
which makes them links.

The "status" field is NOT a list field. Only the "tags" and "list" fields
get special handling as list fields.
In any event, the field:fieldname[value] filter never treats the fieldname
as a list (even for the "tags" or "list" fields).
It only compares the specified value with the entire contents of the
specified fieldname.
To find tiddlers that have a specified value within a field that is a list,
use the contains:fieldname[value] operator instead.
Thus,
{{{ [contains:status[MyData]] }}} -> results in Tdler01 and Tdler02
{{{ [contains:status[My Data]] }}} -> results in Tdler03
