Yes we've done that too - but I agree with you.. usually I throw the props up on very, very short final.
It was and it wasn't. Basically what I like to point out is there are 100 ways to a single task, about 90 of them can be considered appropriate/right/acceptable, and a few of them just wrong. One thing can be right during training, but not necessarily needed in "real world" flying, like shoving the prop lever up in the pattern, etc..etc...
