So I've searched the Roleplaying Guild Guide and can't find an answer to this hypothetical scenario that has almost happened to me a couple of time while GMing.
So you're in the first encounter or two of a module or longer scenario, and a character dies. This being a low level scenario, Raise Dead or Resurrection is not a reasonable possibility.
But the player has a second character.
Can you report the first character as dead, add the second character to the reporting notes, and if the new character survives three encounters and meets the success conditions, award the player a chronicle sheet for the second character? (possibly with gold reduced for encounters missed)
I'm running a module that will span multiple sessions, with a reputation of being kind of brutal at 1st level, and I want to know what to do if a character bites it in the first couple of hours. I'd hate for a player to have to sit out for most of 2 weeks of play, but I don't want to do something outside of the rules of pfs.
To summarize, does pfs allow the "Your brother shows up" trope?

Bargle, depending on the situation 'Campaign Mode' might be a solution for the concern you are raising.
When in 'Campaign Mode', the GM can do *just about anything* to run the game, including using a Monopoly board, or using a different rule-set, or utilizing a different point-buy, etc.
It may be worth considering.

It depends on whether or not the module being run allows campaign mode. If it does, that's an option.
Otherwise, no, a player can't have two chronicles for the same scenario/module (excepting replays and evergreens), but also definitely can't have two characters reported for the same session of a module. It's unfortunate if something like that happens, but just the way it goes sometimes.
