This is what I'd always learned and seen, also.
A strange example of how this can cause problems is for those of us who use
"fake books" (books that just print the melody line and chords): I have
occassionally come across "missed" accidentals (i.e. "wrong notes") in these
books, only to find a full copy of the music elswhere and finding that the
accidental was at the beginning of the measure in the bass clef!

All same note names of any octave within the same measure. The bar
line at the end of the measure cancels accidentals and one reverts to
the key signature unless an accidental is used in the following
measure. It's common knowledge.
