A way to circumvent this issue is to return res early in the case the exists arg is present.
I believe this to be safe since, according to the Maya Command Reference, it ignores any other args when exists is used and, therefore, is essentially equivalent to a call with the query arg.
Bellow is a list of all the cmds under windows.py that contains the flag with the description:
exists(ex)
Returns whether the specified object exists or not. Other flags are ignored.
