Well, I'm not entirely sure being on system break or not affects this question. If an accidental is tied across a barline it seems to me it raises the question of subsequent identical pitches in the following bar in either case, so that adding an accidental - probably NOT courtesy but normal - should be the norm, as others are saying.

Well, by traditional European convention there should definitely not be an accidental on a tied over note unless the tie goes over a system break. All the editions I listed completely go by this convention.

I also think this is influenced by the presence or lack of key signature. My own work is almost entirely without key signature, and I think that adds another level of necessity for clarity. When sight reading music "with" a key signature I think my tendency would be to revert to the non-accidental note in the situation we're discussing.

Ah, for music without a key sig, and even more so for atonal music the case may indeed be different. I wouldn't know, I don't do that kind of music very often.
