I really do not know this.

Will a properly spined arrowhave any bend at allupon release or should it stay straight?

Yes. Because it MUST......It's initially a stationary object with ALOT of force being applied to directly to the tail end.....It has no choice but to flex some......Commonly called "archers paradox." A release shooter's arrow flexes up/down, a finger shooters flexes left/right. Why are they different? Well, to tell you the truth, I just don't know....
