Same principle applies, if the original PIC is incapacitated the SIC by default is now PIC. The FAA-approved FOM of every 121 operator spells that out in black and white. If you ARE the PIC, then you can log PIC...

Just my opinion. I would not log sol-man PIC in 121, but if I were an FO and the CA became incapacitated I would log that PIC like someone said, with a big asterisks so I could tell the story later at an interview. Maybe they wouldn't hire me for logging bogus PIC In which case I probably didn't want to work there anyway.
