This question comes up repeatedly, and because I had a friend who was painting in oils over acrylic and I thought I had heard that this wasn't a good idea, I particularly noticed an article in one of the major artists' magazines around that time. It advised against this practice because artists' color acrylics have a different composition than acrylic gesso and the oil paints wouldn't adhere to them over the long term, but would delaminate or peel off eventually. It sounds as though Golden Paints have addressed that issue, but it doesn't seem like it's wise to use oils over acrylics if you have the standard variety.
