Yes, it is not easy to say which methods should fall in the "proportional multi-winner Condorcet" category. I also note that even if it would be a requirement that the first seat shall go to the Condorcet winner, if one exists, it is quite possible that the Condorcet winner would not be elected if there are two seats. (e.g. when there are two big parties, left and right, and one small centrist party with a Condorcet winner)
