From gtmattz's research, it appears that you need a brook or river on the map for this to work. As such, I would say it's definitely something to do with the brook/river flow code messing with other bodies of water.
Given that this only works aboveground and on maps with brooks/rivers, its utility seems somewhat limited. The best use would be obtaining power easily while far away from the river.
So far, research shows that this only works if the pool filled with water by dwarven bucket brigade is both aboveground and made out of constructed walls. Further research is needed to work out the exact parameters required for power generation.
