Not on purpose, though.

Quite a number of things "worked" that shouldn't have, as there was a 
lot of scope pollution.

Store the data you are interested in as input properties:

Probe {
     id: workspaceRootDetector

     // Inputs:
     property stringList targetOS: qbs.targetOS
     // ...

     // Outputs:
     property path rootDir

     configure: {
         rootDir = Utils.detectWorkspaceRoot(targetOS/*, ...*/)
     }
}
