If the airplane will yaw more easily clean, wouldn't that make the adverse yaw from the critical engine more pronounced?

Perhaps the logic in having the flaps up and gear up is to most accurately simulate a "climbout" configuration, the point where a VMC-induced loss of control is most likely to occur.
