No doubt the trooper doesn't know what she is talking about - which is not uncommon. As you said, truck manufacturers do not make the cargo boxes or other bodies so no truck manufacturer is going to certify an aero tail.
I don't think you will have issues with a commercially purchased tail. They are quite common and in almost all cases put the vehicle over the legal length limit.
I do think you might have trouble with a homemade tail - if it looks to be homemade or very different from the commercially available options. In that case there is no doubt that the device was not approved for sale or use on public roads.
