The normalized syntax is {{buildSelect values="a,b,c"/}}
If you don't put the quotes around parameter values they are added automatically for
you. That's why you'd get the following:
{{buildSelect values="["a","b","c"]"/}}
And this explains why you need to escape the quotes if you use them inside a parameter
value.
Right now AFAIK only strings are supported as parameter type when the macro is used in
wiki syntax.

Ok, let's go into details.
I want to create a macro which build a <select> with its <option> tag.
Let call them {{buildSelect values=.. /}}
For the option items I need a list of string values
calling
{{buildSelect values=["a","b","c"] /}}
does not work. Display values in the macro just shows "[".
You need to escape " because it's part of the macro parameter syntax.
{{buildSelect values=[~"a~",~"b~",~"c~"] /}}
But are you sure you need " characters ?
{{buildSelect values=a,b,c /}} should be enough
Unless you want to interpret this string as velocity code in a wiki
macro but it seems very dangerous (a user could put any velocity he
wants as parameter of your macro).
