The feeling of feelings with the termination of life is a stock phrase in the suttas.
But it says "he feels a feeling terminating with the body". (at least in the first translation) Not sure whose translation that is.

I think what it means is the entire experience of the feeling like "pain felt through the bodily senses", "pleasure felt through the bodily senses" etc. It is talking about the full experience of the feeling from its arising to its termination (death): "a feeling terminating with the body".

When what is felt is felt, when the experience is over, only the sense bases will remain in an enlightened person. There is no manifestation of greed, hatred or illusion.
