I guess my take on it, is that the student is not legal to fly in those conditions unless you are supervising him on the approach, so you could say in a way that you are "performing" the approach when in actual IMC as you are not acting as a safety pilot anymore, but the legal pilot for operation in IMC conditions?
I see your point to but lets take into account 121,135 operations. as a required PNF SIC you are required to be on the airplane in order for it to fly, the captain could not legally fly that airplane without you, but as you can tell by twin wasps post a PNF cannot log the approach because he didnt fly it. btw Just cause a dpe said it doesnt make it right.
