I agree.

Unless we are prepared to introduce an explicit natural sign for this
purpose we should treat the slash note as independant of the key
signature, so /F means F natural, and you need to write F# even if
there is an F sharp in the key signature.

(After all, this is the rule that we follow for the rest of the chord,
is it not?)
