Hello again, Rolf.
Assuming that your explanation is correct for your example image, it still does not explain what is happening in Wendy's image. By following your reasoning and comparing Wendy's with your example, the effect causing the distortion of the reflections in Wendy's photo should have turned them away from vertical, but in the opposite direction.
I suspect the effect is actually to do with Ed's observation that the shutter was open for nearly 15 seconds. During that time the sensor captured, in one image, many different reflections from the mass of ever-changing ripples on the water, moving in a particular direction, again as Ed suggests, due to the wind.
An apology for this post is probably unnecessary, as it seems that Wendy has found it all quite interesting.
Cheers.
Philip
