The reason for posting was that, as operators themselves are responsible for the One Engine Out Procedure for their fleet, I seriously wonder if they take the controllability problem into account.
Many procedures require an immediate turn left or right, at a now standard 15 degrees of bank.
Taken all factors in to the limit, a pilot flying at calculated V2 might run out of rudder while banking, or find himself with a sink rate while increasing the speed to control the aircraft, as VmcA at this bank angle is substantionaly increased.

The referred document explains this very well.
