There is no reason to go for engine shutdown = rotor shutdown for on board refuel, a rotors running refuel is no more hazardous than HIFR. There are more risks involved (dragging the hose and crew over the side for example) in HIFR.
At least when the aircraft is lashed to the deck it can't go anywhere.
