I am sure I can count on this newsgroup to give this question their best !

Would it be legal for a CFI [Not CFII] to act as PIC from the right seat
with a student in IMC ?

Yes, assuming the CFI is IFR current.

In my opinion regardless of the legality, it would be less than sensible,
what say the group ?

It depends. Is the CFI comfortable flying in IMC? How skilled is the
student? For somebody getting close to being ready for their
checkride, it should be no big deal, especially in relatively benign
conditions, and would be a valuble experience for the student.
