3. Chooses not to - insurance issues aside, the aircraft owner may insist that "In my airplane I am PIC." Seems reasonable.
I have one coming this weekend or next where I won't be PIC. I'm giving a FR to a pilot in his RV6A. I have (barely) enough time in one to know how to fly it and land it (I insisted before I agreed to do the FR) but he will =definitely= be the PIC during the flight.
Of course, that has zero to do with how those flights are logged.
