It is 
  (:if ontrail TRAIL:) to test if the current page is on a trail at TRAIL
or
  (:if ontrail TRAIL OtherPage:) to test if OtherPage is on a trail at TRAIL

and should work the same way inside the pagelist if="ontrail TRAIL" parameter.

In case of a doubt, the documentation that could be checked is in the PmWiki 
group, in this case http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/ConditionalMarkup . I am 
not sure who/when created the ontrail section on the Cookbook page - I agree 
it wasn't clear enough and I modified it. If it can be further improved, 
please do it.

Your markup was working correctly, only not the way you thought it would: it 
displayed pages, that were on a trail on Main.WikiSandbox.
