I don't see that using list() is wrong here.
Only the setting of $Group and $Name causes the pagelist problem.
You could use
  list($group, $name) = explode('.', $pagename);
to get useful variables.

They will be global if used outside a function, but that itself
should not cause problems. $pagename is also a global variable.
But throughout PmWiki passes on $pagename as a function parameter,
and does not set it inside functions with global $pagename.

With $group and $name one can do it similarly.
And list($group, $name) = explode('.', $pagename); should
avoid the caching issue you mentioned.
