Then killed the engine, reapplied shore power and abracadabra chassis was charging at 13.6 dropping to 13.2 as it should.
It is amazing the combinations sometimes of turning on, turning off, and connecting to get the chassis batteries to charge on shore power. Glad I have voltage readouts on the batteries to quickly check them.

Are you waiting long enough? The BIRD doesn't switch over charging right away, it waits a few minutes before closing when 120V is present (regardless of the source).
