Most of my research so far has suggested that there is no problems lingering in the lake to enjoy the views - but I came across this post saying that the police has been known to intimidate overnight visitors:

Any comments?
Staying in Karakul Lake possible?I presume you%26#39;re not a fish or water creature with high tolerance for cold water??? Therefore staying AROUND the lake, instead of in it.
My friend and I stayed in July 2007 and had no problems. On the same night there was another Western couple who shared our yurt.
Staying in Karakul Lake possible?Hi there,
Usually it is no problem to stay around lake. Because of the Olympic game and some events happened in Kashgar area Last year (August and September) It was not allowed to stay in Local family yurts, even not allowed to stay overnight at Karakul lake without permit. But this year it is ok to stay around lake, no problem.
We stayed in local Kyrgiz family at Karakul Lake without any problem in May last year. We had a guide and he held a permit with him as I remember. We hired the guide and car from Uighur Tour and Travel Company in Kashgar. May be you have to contact them and get some information, they are very helpful.
