Here are the two FAA Legal opinions that deal with it:

Agreed. The only limitation is whether someone has a BFR. I've seen instructors get burned giving instruction because they forgot they needed a BFR to exercise privledges as PIC. (going to a FIRC only covers the hour ground requirement for a BFR). Not a factor if the student has one. Somebody has to be qualified to be PIC.
