There have been some instances over the years where an engine surge has resulted from an engine 'swallowing' the center of the wake vortex.
In one case, both engines on a 767 surged about a second apart as the aircraft passed through the wake of a preceding aircraft during takeoff .
Fortunately, as far as has been reported, the surges have always been momentary and thrust rapidly recovered.
