An electric shock to earth would be very dangerous in a shelter.
Sure - but not as dangerous as the Luftwaffe doing it's level best to flatten or burn out the place (or both)
It all becomes relative, I guess - advising occupants to rough it was helpful in conserving fuel and power for munitions and other war materiel
When it's been your nth time in the cold and dark that month and you still have to get to a factory tomorrow morning to make Spitfires then running an extension lead doesn't seem all that risky- and we didn't (and still don't) lose that many souls due to electrical incidents.
