No, none of the "standards" say anything like that.  #(...) is a
self-quoting form, like #t and #f and numbers and strings and some other
things.  Quoting them doesn't change a thing.

And to be honest, I don't know of any _convention_ that would recommend
explicitly quoting them or other self-quoting forms, either.
