So what's the deal here, does the claim "airplane
isn't IFR legal even though it meets the minimum
IFR equipment list" have any validity? Curious,

The Airplane Flight Manual will list the approved
operations, Day, Night, IFR, etc.

For later model planes it will. Older aircraft weren't required to
be certificated specifically for these operations (nor have AFM's).
In that case, as long as you meet the equipment and inspection
requirements, you're legal (same for homebuilts).
