I reckon E#.
According to the title on my old copy (1966 or earlier) Poulenc revised the piece in 1945. The use of accidentals in this print is scrupulous: no cautionary accidentals, and accidentals on grace notes apply for the whole bar (for example in the 3rd movement).
Like you, Donald, I have often heard it with E natural - I think stemming from a natural inclination to play a perfect fourth, rather than a tritone, from the preceding note. This passage is bitonal, so comparison with the 2nd part is of limited help.
All the best for your performance!
