I just remembered that something like this already exists:

8068 - Alexander Kukush
Feenschach 135
4kb1r/4ppp1/4Q3/6P1/4PK2/8/6P1/8
5+6. Mate in 1 (AP, PRA)

Black tries to castle, thus proving it's possible that he didn't move
last. But: 1. .. fe6 2. g6 e5 3. Kg5 e6 4. g4!! and now is 4. .. Be7
mate, and other bishop moves result in stalemate. So black can't prove
he didn't move last. So mate in 1 with 1. Qc8#.
