I don't think (hope not) that there is text preventing acknowledging a packet multiple times, but it SHOULD not be acknowledge again once an endpoint knows that the peer received the acknowledgment.

As to renege in the current text:

section 19.3.: 
> QUIC acknowledgements are irrevocable. Once acknowledged, a packet remains acknowledged, even if it does not appear in a future ACK frame. This is unlike TCP SACKs ([RFC2018]).

section 21.3.:
> An endpoint that acknowledges packets it has not received might cause a congestion controller to permit sending at rates beyond what the network supports. An endpoint MAY skip packet numbers when sending packets to detect this behavior. An endpoint can then immediately close the connection with a connection error of type PROTOCOL_VIOLATION (see Section 10.3).
