Also, I know a bunch of F-117 guys that got their CL thrust restriction deleted because they were able to convince them they have some sort of Vmc for single engine. It's not an airspeed, but an Alpha. Anyways, it was smoke-and-mirrors, but it worked.
The CL restriction in the actual publication only lists F/A-18A/B aircraft. As Cub mentioned, once the EPE engines went into both the C/D versions and with the new engines in the Supers - the NATOPS properly reflected everything that was required to show that it was a true multi-engine aircraft. My current XO tried this same argument some time ago and made it through the FSDO with resounding results; unfortunately somewhere up the chain old views held fast in his case too.
