"could not locate window with the specified id" or "could not locate the window to act on!"

Having some issues when I try to focus specific app by it's ID, it was hard to debug because I don't have any concrete steps to reproduce this behavior, and list of the apps affected differs too. Recently I cough one of such examples when my debug logs was open, here how it looked like:

$yabai -m query --windows
{
        "id":527,
        "pid":19161,
        "app":"Telegram",
        "title":"",
        "scratchpad":"",
        "frame":{
                "x":3368.0000,
                "y":-594.0000,
                "w":1676.0000,
                "h":2968.0000
        },
        "role":"",
        "subrole":"",
        "root-window":true,
        "display":2,
        "space":5,
        "level":0,
        "sub-level":0,
        "layer":"normal",
        "sub-layer":"normal",
        "opacity":1.0000,
        "split-type":"none",
        "split-child":"none",
        "stack-index":0,
        "can-move":false,
        "can-resize":false,
        "has-focus":false,
        "has-shadow":true,
        "has-parent-zoom":false,
        "has-fullscreen-zoom":false,
        "has-ax-reference":false,
        "is-native-fullscreen":false,
        "is-visible":false,
        "is-minimized":false,
        "is-hidden":false,
        "is-floating":false,
        "is-sticky":false,
        "is-grabbed":false
}

Then I try to switch to it and next thing happens:

$ yabai -m window --focus 527
could not locate window with the specified id '527'.
$ yabai -m window --focus '527'
could not locate window with the specified id '527'.

could not locate the window to act on!

The app is the only visible app in space 5 (when I am at space 6 if that matters) on my second display. I didn't restart it, nor did I restart Yabai, and suddenly it's working again. Here is a query response for that window after it started to work again:

{
        "id":527,
        "pid":19161,
        "app":"Telegram",
        "title":"Telegram",
        "scratchpad":"",
        "frame":{
                "x":3368.0000,
                "y":-594.0000,
                "w":1676.0000,
                "h":2968.0000
        },
        "role":"AXWindow",
        "subrole":"AXStandardWindow",
        "root-window":true,
        "display":2,
        "space":5,
        "level":0,
        "sub-level":0,
        "layer":"normal",
        "sub-layer":"normal",
        "opacity":1.0000,
        "split-type":"none",
        "split-child":"second_child",
        "stack-index":0,
        "can-move":true,
        "can-resize":true,
        "has-focus":false,
        "has-shadow":true,
        "has-parent-zoom":false,
        "has-fullscreen-zoom":false,
        "has-ax-reference":true,
        "is-native-fullscreen":false,
        "is-visible":false,
        "is-minimized":false,
        "is-hidden":false,
        "is-floating":false,
        "is-sticky":false,
        "is-grabbed":false
}

As you can see both role and subrole were messed up, but again, it was perfectly fine window that was working as usual, I did nothing to fix and it works. It's not about this specific app, it happens rarely and randomly with a list of apps.

Any ideas what's going on or how I can fix it? I also sometimes experience issues when my queries are taking much more time to respond, but I guess that's not related. Would be great to hear your thoughts or propositions on how to further investigate it. Thanks!
