Higher speeds do indeed result in poor aerodynamic effects resulting in undesirable mach tuck.
The B707, especially early models, were rather severe in this regard.
Oddly enough, the Lockheed TriStar had no descernable untoward effects, in this area.
Lockheed got it right.
Suspect later Boeing aircraft are likewise.
