After I experienced this mid-match last night, my friend and I tested in a custom with different hook-states, health-states, perks etc.
We can confirm it completely skips the scream and exposure effect if you use it while having a hook-state already.
We believe the perk performs a check to see if the user running the perk is on death hook, as the perk cannot be used if it would result in their death. However, it seems this check occurs after the hook-state transfer has already taken place. If using the perk causes the user to reach death hook, the check likely detects the user as ineligible to use the perk retroactively. As a result, the penalties of screaming and becoming exposed are skipped, even though the hook-state transfer still happens.
