I don't know who told you this but we renewed our PPs a couple of years ago without a problem when we were still on visas.
It is really simple - albeit expensive. Fill in the forms, enclose photos and current PP, and tell them which CC to charge the (exorbitant) fee to.
We got our new PPs in less than 10 days.

To renew a British passport in the US: $185
To renew a British passport in Blighty: £51
It may even be worth it to fly home and do the fast-track one-week service for £77.50.
