Comment:

 Thanks for the detailed report Keryn.

 I suspect the solution is as simple as setting
 `Exists.empty_result_set_value = False` which was missed in
 dd1fa3a31b4680c0d3712e6ae122b878138580c7 and since `Exists` sublasses
 `Subquery` it inherited its `.empty_result_set_value = None`.

 If you can confirm this addresses the problem you reported could you
 submit a PR with a regression test?
