Here is my take on this:
- If back seat is a MEI - he/she would need to have 5 hours in make and model before being able to teach in it and log dual given.
- If right seat guy is a safety pilot - he would need to have a ME private or commercial and can only log time as PIC when the left seat guy is under the hood.
- If left seat guy is the sole manipulator, he would need to be under the hood the entire flight so the safety pilot can PIC. Obviously, the MEI would have to sign this pilot's log book as dual given and this pilot will probably be in instrument training in the twin.
If you do this make sure that both pilots understand that you (the MEI) in the back seat is the acting PIC. I personally wouldn't recommend doing this.
In the end, you can log whatever you think is right and want, but trying to justify it to an employer, FAA inspector or DE is a different story.

Agreed! The chief pilot at the last flight school that I worked for did this all the time.
