Not at all. Why do you say that? Being a required pilot does not entitle
you
to log PIC time;

I'm using "required crew member" in the more standard sense, referring
to 61.51(e).iii "more than one pilot required".

That's not a different sense of "required pilot". It's the same sense but a
different *number*.

The instrument-rated PIC in the IFR scenario *is* a required pilot in the
sense of 61.51e1iii. But 61.51e1iii still does not entitle her to log PIC
time, because the flight in question does not require *more than one* pilot
(because the other pilot, the non-instrument-rated sole manipulator, is
*not* a required pilot for the flight).
