Indeed. :-/

Likely -- previously the string was normalized to become a valid pagename,
automatically removing all non-pagename characters like [, *, ? etc. The new
conditional expects a number of extra characters to have a meaning.
The previous conditional worked with brackets, but I don't think it was really
designed for this. And in our documentation we have the correct line :
(:if exists PAGENAME:) - true if the page pagename exists
I wonder if there are wikis other than our Cookbook that rely on the previous
conditional expression.
