Tied unisons in two voices create incorrect accidentals in following notes

When two voices are in unison and tied over a bar line, and one of the voices then repeats that same note, then an incorrect accidental often appears.

For example, see attached picture, where two voices are playing C for one-and-a-half measures, then the top voice moves up while the lower voice repeats the C. The repeated note obviously should not have a natural sign.

I have tried this using 1.3 as well as the nightly build (2013-08-30).

As a workaround, I went through a score and made such accidentals invisible. Unfortunately, when reloading the file, the accidentals do not appear right away, but then get created when editing other parts of the score, and are thus no longer invisible.

This is no longer reproducible as far as I can tell in 2.0 builds (but I can confirm it was a problem in 1.3 - a strange one, I think!).

FWIW, in 2.0, the whole note will show two noteheads by default as per Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars", but you can defeat that by explicitly setting the notehead of one of them to "Whole" (as opposed to "Auto" ).
