Ah... maybe because when the cams is held in position with the cam timing tool none of the valves on that side of the head is fully open, thus no interference when the motor is rotated?

The engine is designed to accommodate this due to the positions of the VVT arrangement.
Don't over think it. Set cam timing on bank 1, remove the tools, rotate the engine 360*, lock the crank, fit the cams and timing tools and fit the tensioner or pre-tensioner tool, then tighten it all up. Remove the tools and you are done..
No need in over thinking it or worrying about anything else.
Or just wait for my book to be published, which has 3 chapters on cam timing, to include 3 and 5 chain specific, step by step procedures.
