You can fly in VFR weather while needing to fly on instruments to maintain control... that's how I log actual anyways, if I would lose control by looking outside then I'm logging it as actual.
There is no definition of IMC in the FARs from what I can tell, only flight under IFR / VFR. Therefore, depending on how you interpret 'IMC' you could be in IMC under VFR and still be legal.

Definition-wise, the "M" in VMC/IMC still means meterological, ie- a WX condition, not a light condition in the sense of night. IMO, there's few situations where flying by reference to outside in VMC would result in loss of control. Some night in the middle of nowhere would qualify. But my main beef is with those that log all night time as actual.
