I would like to assure you that I would not write about this matter if
I was not certain about my knowledge in this area.

I believe you are confusing between 2SLS and IV estimators, which are
not exactly the same:

When you are talking about 2SLS you need literally to replace
projected values from the solution equation - but here the second
equation is simply an identity, so you cannot produce here projected
values. I suppose what STATA did here is to use investment as
instrumental variable to consumption in the right-hand-side of the
consumption function. This is not 2SLS even if the command is 2SLS and
even if the output tells otherwise!!!
