It seems like it only checks whenever you are swimming. Vehicles do return true when on water even if they are not sinking, so players should have the same treatment in my opinion.

I wouldn't call it a bug, rather a sideeffect of bypassing game mechanics by teleporting player ped into water element rather than letting it touch it manually.
Fixing would bring more issues and propably backwards issues as the functions relies on the peds animation/state and vehicle engine state/status I guess.
Also there's not sufficient way to check if the player ped is under water if it behaves as being on ground.

you can see the code for Vehicles is differ than the one ped is using maybe using this method will fix the issue

bool CClientVehicle::IsOnWater()
{
    if (m_pVehicle)
    {
        float   fWaterLevel;
        CVector vecPosition, vecTemp;
        GetPosition(vecPosition);
        float fDistToBaseOfModel = vecPosition.fZ - m_pVehicle->GetDistanceFromCentreOfMassToBaseOfModel();
        if (g_pGame->GetWaterManager()->GetWaterLevel(vecPosition, &fWaterLevel, true, &vecTemp))
        {
            if (fDistToBaseOfModel <= fWaterLevel)
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Lua code

function handlerFunction()

local x, y, z =  getElementPosition (localPlayer)
local fWaterLevel= getWaterLevel ( x, y, z,true)
local fDistToBaseOfModel = z - getElementDistanceFromCentreOfMassToBaseOfModel(localPlayer);
  if (fDistToBaseOfModel <= fWaterLevel) then
   
          outputChatBox("is in water")
		  
		  else 
		      outputChatBox("is not in water")
 end

end

addCommandHandler ( "test2",  handlerFunction)
