Hi,
In Copland's "An Outdoor Overture" in measure 51 (key of F Concert), there is a run from G5 to F3 in which the each F# is natural and each B is flatted; every octave is marked. Same piece, measures 144 and 145 (key of C Concert) with a run from G 6 to E3 and each F# is natural and each B is again flatted.
IMHO one would then suppose that had each suceeding octave not been marked, the key signature would have prevailed. This leads me to support the notion that in single note lines like on wind instruments, accidentals must be marked in each octave.
When I think back to theory class though, everything there seemed to be keyboard related with ocatves (and 4 part harmony) often considered a routine. In that case, one might be able to support that once marked, the accidental would hold for the measure in any octave.
