Sure doesn't enter into the thinking of any multiengine pilot. Airspeed is
airspeed, no matter where the impetus comes from. If the book says to
approach at 90 knots, for example, the pilot is going to maintain 90 knots
no matter how many engines are operating.

Interesting,
My thinking was that without the prop operating it was not producing
thrust and maybe with the thrust of one engine instead of both it may slow
their approach speed some.

A stopped/feathered prop has less drag than a windmilling prop, so if
there were any effect on speed it would be an increase, not a decrease.
