Is this really a case where brackets would be used? The typical reason for inserting a bracketed accidental would be a case where the accidental is missing in all sources, but musical context makes it almost certain that the accidental should be there.

Yes, in most cases brackets are indeed unnecessary. But I know some over-accurate editions that aim to reproduce the original text as faithfully as possible, giving evidence to every critical intervention - for example, the Ricordi critical edition of Verdi's works. I was also thinking of doubtful cases I found in certain - particularly inaccurate! - 18th century manuscripts, where accidentals (as been as continuo numbers, and many other elements...) are often lacking at all!
