It is if the pilot can't scan for traffic or search for a
suitable emergency landing site.


Is the UAV pilot not able to scan for traffic or search for a suitable
emergency landing site?



In any case, an aircraft "in distress" is only allowed to violate the
FAR's as far as necessary to deal with the emergency. I'd have a
hard time proving reasonable violation of "See and
Avoid" in the simple case of engine failure.


We're not talking about violating any FARs.



You're proposing that these UAV's
can simply ignore this rule because they're supposed to be in class
A all the time.


I proposed nothing at all like that.
