Apple's current policy is not entirely clear on this, and the company reserves the right to change policies at any time. As we saw with iOS SDK v4 Section 3.3.1, they have demonstrated a willingness to introduce unexpected changes, even those that cause significant loss across many segments of the developer community, so there's no way to rely on any specific Apple policy when making business plans.
As for the moment, my understanding of the current policy is to try to prevent approving an app that later morphs itself into something else.
If a downloaded stack file contains no LiveCode Script, it should in all fairness be given the same allowance any other binary data for being downloadable for use in the application.
With behaviors this is relatively straightforward, allowing developers to extend an application's content and provide additional functionality, perhaps even using Apple's in-app purchasing where appropriate.
For stack files that contain code, there does appear to be a restriction on those, but it's unclear how well it's enforced or if they'd even care given how LC Script can't operate outside the sandboxed bounds of the LC engine embedded in the app that was approved.
Still, it may be prudent for those concerned about the possibility of having an app pulled to take on the additional expense and delayed update time for your users by bundling new code into an entirely new app build for that one OS.
