It seems to me that the pitches natural+1/4 and sharp - 1/4 are the same pitch (i.e. enharmonic equivalents) and that it is appropriate to have either one represent the same pitch. The display of the accidentals leading to that pitch should likely be a property of a key-signature that shows how to display a given pitch. I'm not sure exactly how to accomplish this, but it seems the proper logical structure to me.
