With all due respect, that sounds like utter bullocks to me. The light intensity on the sensor is much higher when pointing a long lens at a bright light source with the aperture wide open (something I also wouldn't recommend doing).
Or, even if the risk of damaging the camera or the lens by swapping with the camera turned on is negligible, let's say one every 10 million, they want to avoid a complaint by somebody stating that it was not written in the manual.
Not only dust, also a lot of light and, if the camera is turned on, the sensor is overloaded.
