I'm certain I read in the report that the pumps would not stop working in this condition.
You're right - report said they were assessed as: "still being capable of delivering full fuel flow".
I was wrong though - I was sure we were going to hear that the cause was the crew pulling the fire handle & engine cutoffs in the wrong order, with the AAIB issuing a safety recommendation to stop it happening again.
[followed by, for the particularly on-the-ball reporter, a retrospective of Kegworth, which will turn out to be "eerily similar" because of the words "fire handle" "engine" and "boeing"... ]
