Which part of the documention states that it should _display_ such a
status?

> env exists name - tests for existence of variable

This says it "tests", but it does say nothing obout outputting any
such information.  The command to output such information is "env
print".

Above behaviour is absolutely correct.  The command returns a
proper status which can be used in conditionals etc., for example:

U-Boot> env exists foo ; echo RC=$?
RC=1
U-Boot> if env exists bootdelay ; then echo BOOTDELAY exists ; else echo BOOTDELAY does not exist ; fi
BOOTDELAY exists
U-Boot> if env exists bootdelay ; then echo BOOTDELAZ exists ; else echo BOOTDELAZ does not exist ; fi
BOOTDELAZ exists
U-Boot> env exists bootdelay && printenv bootdelay
bootdelay=3


There is no bug.

Best regards,
