But this code does not have that behavior ...
tell application "Finder"
exists application file id "com.unknown.something"
end tell
It does return true if it exists, but returns error -10814 if it
does not exist.
You get the same error without "exists" in the script. That means
that the error happens before the script gets to evaluate "exists".
