There would be no turn of rope around the tree because the rope was attached to the moving squirrel. The object of the question. If you made the tree the object of the question and attached the rope to the stationary tree there would be a turn of rope around it.

THAT is precisely the point. It is about the relative positions of the hunter and squirrel. If the squirrel stayed in one spot then the hunter would have gone around the squirrel.
