Perhaps this has to do with contingencies like not being able to close
the
hatch on Pirs. If your one and only Soyuz is attached to Pirs when this
happens, would it be possible to enter the Soyuz orbital module while
still
wearing Russian EVA suits?

ISTR they tested Orlan access to Soyuz recently (during Exp. 9?) and
found it possible but difficult.

If this is the only issue, it's more of a desirement than a requirement that
the Soyuz not be docked to Pirs during an EVA which is being conducted from
Pirs.
