I say go with the conservative approach because at this stage of the game we are not time building anymore.
If I'm PIC (which I'm not) and signed for the A/C, then I'm logging PIC for the entire flight.
If I'm SIC, well - I'm too damn lazy to figure out what part I was actually in the seat. I'm logging the whole flight.
If and interviewer asks - go back to my initial response. Like you said, at this stage of the game I'm not building time - just marking it!
In fairness, I haven't yet had to contend with the ultra-long haul junk - mine tend to max out at 12-14 hours, but I still just can't be bothered to care what part I'm in or out of the seat. If I'm there and I'm working, I'm logging.
