This is absolutely true. The plug boots that sit below each coil pack absorb a lot of heat and moving them around while changing the plugs has caused more than one to fail. The wires that go out the side of the coil pack to the other spark plug bank tend to fail less often.
Most often the failure mode is such that you will feel an occaisional miss ant idle, but engine will run fine at speed. Guess a hard start could occue as well, but I hadn't heard that one.
