It's as intended. Any tile exposed to light remains exposed even if roofed over. This means that the temperature will follow the surface one as well, and thus cause your once exposed reservoir tiles to freeze.
To avoid this problem, move the reservoir to a location that's truly underground, and, obviously, move the well as well.
