This is one of those rare cases where GUI Scripting is actually better:

tell application "System Events"

tell process "Safari" -- or whatever

get value of attribute "AXFullScreen" of window 1

end tell

display dialog result as text

You have to put the script in the Scripts folder and run it from the Scripts menu when the target window is in fact full screen. Running it from Script Editor in another space doesn't see the Safari window, as far as I can tell on a quick test.
