Correct. Additionally, altimeter will tend to stick with engine off.

Engine off - no vibration - altimeter sticks.

Yet another failure mode for liquid crystal displays I hadn't known about.

In my one fixed wing engine out that didn't happen. But I could see where it
could.

A parked altimeter consistently unmoved by overnight weather changes
could be a tip-off.

So what do they do during the IFR cert? Shake the plane around?

I have no idea. As I said, I do not fly power. Is shutting down an
engine (or all engines) in flight required as a part of any
certification?

Some of the early jets, like the Lear, came with a little vibrator
attached
to the captains altimeter, for just that purpose.

If the altimeter is in poor enough shape it needs vibration to move
the pointer it should have been replaced long ago. The one in the Deb
is original (1959) and it still works fine.

When I purchased my glider it had a button on the stick that would run
a motor with and off ballance weight on it next to the the Altimeter.
It's purpose was to shake the altimeter so it would give an acurate
reading. Most Power aircraft have a built in altimeter shaker called
an engine.
