I disagree. Look at the wiring schematic flow chart, Spanners. During jettison, the CWT refuel valves are closed and if the fuel in the HST is greater than 1500lbs, the HST Isolation valves open. The HST is connected directly to the Jettison-Transfer manifold during fuel dump. The fuel in the HST will come straight out of the wingtips.

The CBT programs I've used also show fuel coming straight out of the HST.
