A couple of other possible explanations spring to mind:
1. The article mentions that this behaviour by chimps occurs in essentially the same areas where humans do the same thing. Primates are imitative by nature, so it's at least plausible that the chimps are putting stones in trees for no other reason that they've seen stones piled in trees.
2. Chimps are known to use tools as well as having an ability to plan ahead, so this could possibly be a case of them storing stones for future use.
