It may depend on denaturing agents as well as the particular acrylic grade. 
Personally I wouldn't hesitate to clean acrylic with denatured ethanol, since I have never observed this, but you are not the only one saying it has this effect.

You are right about the MSDS changing, I fully expect with the new US administration even cyanide will be certified safe for use as a food additive.
Also watch out where you expose yourself to those chemicals, some are apparently only dangerous if you are in the state of California. ;-)

To return to reality, as others have mentioned it is a good idea to look at several different MSDS. They change as scientific understanding of the health effects changes.

     Wow what a long thread - I tend to agree with ST all solvents are not good as to how bad I refer to the MSDS's tho I would point out that Ethanol causes crazing on Perspex (Acrylic Plastic) it ususally takes a while but one exposure to it is all it needs.
    Anyway my 2c is use the MSDS''s they are changing all the time so keep them up to date.
