What regulation requires two pilots under this circumstance?

61.3(e)(1) for the "not IR" option. As I said, I am manufacturing an
artificially rigid definition of the flight to try to figure out if there is
any rationale for logging PIC. Almost a reduction ad absurdum.

I don't see 61.3 (e) (1) requiring two pilots in the case where a non-rated
person (or pilot) happens to be manipulating the controls.

The only pilot that is *required* is the one who is acting as PIC.

================
61.3 e) Instrument rating. No person may act as pilot in command of a civil
aircraft under IFR or in weather conditions less than the minimums
prescribed for VFR flight unless that person holds:
(1) The appropriate aircraft category, class, type (if required), and
instrument rating on that person's pilot certificate for any airplane,
helicopter, or powered-lift being flown;
