> After the wing passes, the air is no longer compressed, and the net motion of the air is unchanged from before it encountered the wing. What then?

Then, there would be no lift generated, since there is no acceleration of mass.

No, there would be a small amount of lift generated, in accordance with Bernoulli's principle, despite there being no net motion of the air after the wing has passed.
