I had the opposite instinct -- that a parenthesized courtesy
accidental on a tied note at the beginning of a measure would not
carry through the measure, and if it's e.g., an Eb, the next Eb in the
measure would require a (non-courtesy) accidental.
But it would be nice to know what others do in this situation.

I agree. The parenthesis signals that the parenthesized instruction is
merely a reminder and is not technically needed. If an accidental
carries information about succeeding notes, it is not a courtesy
accidental at all!
That said, however, I would be careful to place a(n unparenthesized)
courtesy natural before any repetition of the pitch within that bar
just to make sure the player understands.
