My reading and several websites support that. Rather than the Churchill's 5 crew, the AVRE had a sixth - the demolitions NCO.

The teams I used in testing had only 2 men and were therefore very fragile - the prototypical 1 man would be worse.

For those interested, a bunch of links on the topic of AVREs, extra demo charges and dismounts:
