I would guess that it does just based on general principle, but the recess is pretty shallow so it may not hurt that much. If you think about it, your typical sedan has a much bigger pocket of turbulent flow sitting over the rear window, but they compare pretty well to say fastbacks or hatchbacks (like the Prius or Audi A7 hatchback, sloping down significantly) in terms of drag.
