i have never seen that as a student, nor have i done that as an instructor.

the benefits are outweighed by the risks in doing so, imho.

sure, feather it up high and unfeather for the exercise, but a 1eo approach for the sake of it?

even that reverse yaw thing? nah. if its on the ground surely the student will have the nouse to keep it straight.

edit. this raises a few questions for me. intentionally inducing a failure? is a pan call made? is atc notified that normal performance is not available should they require it? insurance validity in the event the running 1 stops? all sorts of implications...
