Technically with an engine shutdown and feathered you are in an emergency situation.
Are you saying that as personal opinion or regulatory requirement ? In either case I don't agree with you, and nor does CAO 20.6 or anything else in the Regs that I know of.

In light twins with their characteristic lack of single engine performance, landing with a prop feathered - whether a practice or due to engine failure - is worthy of a PAN call to alert ATC. In any case, deliberately feathering a prop for a "practice" single engine landing is bordering on reckless behaviour by the instructor since there is no regulatory requirement to do so. The handling of the aircraft with prop feathered or with the `dead` engine set at zero thrust is practically identical. Zero thrust landings are clearly good risk mitigation - while the former is high risk if numerous relevant accident reports are anything to go by.
