Unless they are very heavy PCBAs or have projections on them that would warrant making a change, I don't see the need. You have the case of people's opinion and in the ESD world that usually gets more traction than facts. I have attached MIL-HDBK-773 for your reference which does detail such packaging requirements (Pg 19) but does not reference vertically stacking. (Sorry those I technet as I know the attachment will be stripped off). I don't know if this handbook has been canceled or not.

We have been packaging pcba's for years by placing in static bag, wrapping in antistatic bubble wrap and placing in a carton laying flat on top of one another. We now have a customer that is saying this does not comply with industry or international standards and that, without going into specifics, the assembled boards should be packed upright. I have done brief google searches and do not get any concise information. I figured fielding this question to the technet would yield better results.
