I've always heard that to be the case, but I've never really kept track of it on any vehicles I own. I does make sense, however that it would, since it is the flow of water through the cooling fins of the radiator that brings the 'cooling' effect to the rest of the engine...once the flow is stopped and the water is no longer being cooled, the hot surfaces it had been cooling would tend to raise the temperature somewhat.
