I have never seen it happen, but it could be possible. Basically since you have both a ground and a power there, it is possible the water could provide enough of a path to pop a fuse.

I haven't, we put boats in quite often and don't unplug the trailer lights like your supposed to.
Biggest thing I've been warned about is unplugging connections for electric brakes before submerging. Lights aren't usually a problem.

problem typically in my experience has been a crack in the tail light lens. This allows water in the casing and allows for a short. could also be a frayed wire touching water and popping fuses. Check for loose wires and the tail lights. Hope this helps.
