I doubt this is true but the result you described has been seen, in the movies . There is a low pressure area behind any fast moving vehicle which theoretically could pull up surface water in a similar manner of a storm surge.

At supersonic speeds the pilot would have a transit time of just seconds even over the longest length of the lake. Since military aircraft always file a flight plan it is unlikely they would get away with this.

My 2 cents
