I never heard that before. I've always pinned both aprons on my tradition kilts. It hasn't given me any trouble as the kilt can still expand freely due to the pleats. The aprons are still wide enough to fall between my legs for modesty when sitting (the sporran helps to push them in that direction too). I don't own a kilt pin heavy enough to fight even a modest breeze by its weight alone. I wouldn't want a heavy kilt pin banging at my leg anyway.

My sons prefer their pins through both layers too. The pleats allow for plenty of room, so I don't see how the aprons cold be pulled too hard by pinning them together.
And if my now 9yo has ripped anything, I'd say it's safe to pin the aprons together. :-D
