My experience is that, when under oath in a deposition, doctors tend to be very noncommittal on the diagnosis.

Well of course. CFS isn't really a specific diagnosis as such. It's just a cluster of symptoms usually without a definitive root cause or reliable diagnostic test. A doctor might record a CFS diagnosis as a step in writing a care plan and to facilitate billing, but then they might be more circumspect when testifying under oath where the consequences of a misstatement are more severe.
