The MP might have assumed the bottle was a swim line marker. No rule says you need more than one float. If there is a swim line it establishes a swim-safety zone and the no-wake zone is pushed 150 feet beyond it.
Anyone can swim inside a float-line. The landowner has a right to establish a "swim-safety zone" but the lake is public domain. Powerred boats may not enter a swim-safety zone except to launch and recover. Float lines can be interpreted as navigation markers so tamperring with them or tieing off to one can supposedly get you cited. I doubt the state is going to expend much effort watching over them beyond NWZ violations, especially if it's your own zone you're violating.
Also the rule on NWZ includes bouys and floats which most people interpret as navigation markers and rafts.
