Thanks. I just found it documented at
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/expres33.htm
The justification is "Because some browsers do not support some CGI
variables, ColdFusion always returns True when it tests for the existence of
a CGI variable, regardless of whether the browser supports the variable."
I'm not sure I agree with the justification but such is life. It looks like
I'll have to go with the kludge.

This is intentional, documented behavior. I don't recall the exact
rationale, just that there was one.
