I think I would certainly inspect the bulkheads and maybe add tabbing if I deemed it necessary but not double them.

Please go to your first link and read the section about mast support. That was a 1983 boat being written about in 1990. They noted flex in the cabin top that caused a "ridge." That boat is 20 years older now,as is the plywood bulkhead. That why I would be thinking about doubling up on those bulkheads as they support the mast in a Vega. Sometimes it is easier to double up then it is replace a bulkhead.
