My best guess is that the engine torquing over is allowing a bare wire to short out.
In drive the engine will torque over or move in the direction of engine rotation. It will move even more with more load and/or acceleration.
So, I would not rule out looking at other wires in and around the fuel pump as that was the area worked on.
The engine movement will make the unibody twist ever so slightly is ndrive and will let almost anything that is not solid mounted move around.
