Different evaluation in _exists and _assertExists

By common sense, I'd expect that from passing _assertExists(X) results _exsists(X)==true.
But it turned out, in general, this doesn't hold. I run into a case where _assertExists(X) passes (green), but the following _exsists(X) ends up with an evaluation error "JSERROR
TypeError: Cannot call method "_cell" of undefined".
Surprisingly, _click(X) proceeds as expected - seems a little strange?

The very example tries to click an image in a cell in the last row of a table in a popup:
_popup("locator")._click(_image("",_in(_cell(3, _in(_row(_byId("explorer").rows.length-1, _in(_byId("explorer")))))))); // this works

_exists(_popup("locator")._cell(3, _in(_row(_byId("explorer").rows.length-1, _in(_byId("explorer")))))) // gives the error as wel as
_popup("locator")._exists(_cell(3, _in(_row(_byId("explorer").rows.length-1, _in(_byId("explorer"))))))

Needless to say tha all these expressions do fine in the controller's expression evaluation area.

Any advice?
Thanks

    Hi fnc-d16,

    We are making the _popup related APIs a little cleaner.
    Meanwhile you can use this:
    $imageExists = false;
_popup("locator")._set($imageExists, _exists(_popup("locator")._cell(3, _in(_row(_byId("explorer").rows.length-1, _in(_byId("explorer")))))) )

// use $imageExists
if ($imageExists) {
  // do my stuff
}
