That is why it is important to build a strong working relationship with your supervisor, and that you'll be comfortable to tell him/her even if you're intending to leave. Good supervisors will help you in their recommendations, but I've also seen my fair share of back-stabbing done by them.
It is unfair, but that's how public sector is. Sometimes, you'll be surprised to know that your current supervisor may be friends with your potential supervisor in the new org. This is due to the rotations/transfer of people within the public service, and the networking sessions available.
