BS. The State Department website only says that some short forms may not be acceptable.

Acceptable primary evidence of U.S. Citizenship is a certified birth certificate that has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of birth. All this information is contained on the short form BC which is all most states give out these days and is sufficient proof to get a passport as I can personally attest to.

There is a statement requiring them from certain states, of which Hawaii is not one.
