NOTE: To flight-instruct in a multiengine airplane that has a VMC speed established by the manufacturer, the
person would merely need to complete training and certification at a pilot certificate level of at least the commercial pilot level in a multiengine airplane that has a published VMC speed, and then the limitation would be removed from his pilot certificate."
Thanks for your earlier reply. I know I'm wrong, I just don't why!

There are some cases where an addition to your pilot cert automatically grants you instructor privileges as well. An example is a commercial seaplane rating also allows to teach in a seaplane without any additional checkride.
Sounds like this might be one of those cases. The commercial PTS lists the requirements to remove a CL restriction, but the MEI PTS does not mention it so that must be why. I'm a little surprised, from an instructional point of view SE maneuvers are dangerous.
Maybe ask your local FSDO to be safe...
