Users naturally will click in the middle of the lake.
It turns out one needs to click on the shore.

However with a bigger lake,
https://www.openstreetmap.org/query?lat=23.9306&lon=121.5113
the query fully in the water finds it.

There are two different searches - one for "nearby features" which look for things which overlap the search radius and one for "enclosing features" which looks for things which surround it.

It sounds like you want to be looking at the second, which does seem to find the lake here correctly.
