Except that the pilot (61.133 (b) (1)) will have stamped on their
certificate a prohibition about carrying persons for hire more than 50
miles *or* at night without an instrument rating. I'd like to see a
General Counsel interpretation as to whether this clause would also
prohibit flight instruction for hire to these limitations.

My suspicion is that it probably WOULD be interpreted with these
limitations, so cross country or night instruction would be out, and would
severely limit the instructor rating.

I don't understand why you think they would interpret it that way. They have
already made it very clear that an instructor isn't in the airplane to fly
but rather to teach. A CFI isn't exercising the privileges of his commercial
ticket when he is teaching as exampled by NOT having to have a 2nd class
medical.
