There's also an enharmonic tie one in the first movement of Schubert's Great C major symphony, towards the end of the development - IIRC it's a clarinet. I remember in a sight-read playthrough being in a whole violin section that played the (untied) enharmonic unison at the same point incorrectly, in unison.
With strings there'd be a fingering issue, wouldn't there? I don't play, but I seem to recall that if it's G# they like to play it in a certain position with a certain finger, and Ab is a different position with a different finger, even if it's the same note (more or less) on the same string.
Somewhat true - there's also an intonation issue, because string instruments tend to veer away from equal temperament as soon as possible ;)....I've dug the score out, and the violin II moment in question is repeated triplets, gradually descending C - Bb - Ab - G# - F# - E - D - C. Which when notated looks like anything *but* a wholetone scale. And yes I remembered right, there's a tie in clarinet II at the same point.
