What we teach in the sim is that with one engine out (assuming a twin) you are an emergancy a/c and as such it's perfectly reasonable to request an alternate MAP if the published involves any immediate turns. Certainly the a/c may be capable but the pilot is already involved in a heavy worload so why exacerbate the situation ?
The request to ATC should be made prior to the approach not at the missed approach point.
