The operation does so require more than one pilot,

But that's NOT what the regulations says is a requirement for a safety
pilot logging PIC time.

The regulation says (in part) that in order to LOG PIC time, one must be
acting as pilot in command of an aircraft on which more than one pilot is
required under the ... regulations under which the flight is conducted.

In the type of situations we are discussing, there is no *regulation* that
says two pilots are needed except when a safety pilot is required.
