You don't need to vent them, and it's better if you do it at a simmer
than a hard boil. It also depends on the sizes of the bags and how full
you've made them. If the bag is relatively flat -like no more than about
an inch or an inch and a half thick - it should be fine. But, if it's
cram-full and rounded, it needs to happen at a considerably lower
temperature to get everything thawed before significant pressure builds
up. Boiling them will cause a pressure buildup, as your comment about
venting recognizes, and could cause it to burst if done for a long time.
So, the simple answer is, yes they can be boiled. Mostly.
