This way it works:

\relative c' {
  \time 4/4  
  #(set-accidental-style 'piano-cautionary 'Staff)
  gis'1 g
  #(set-accidental-style 'default 'Staff)
  dis d
  #(set-accidental-style 'piano-cautionary 'Staff)
  ais' a
}

And it seems to me, it should work exactly this way?

NR says:

% -----------------8<----------------------
This function is called as follows:

    \new Staff <<
      #(set-accidental-style 'voice)
      { … }
    >>

The accidental style applies to the current Staff by default [...]
% -----------------8<----------------------

So, it it called "at Staff level", or so.

I don't know why it works with 'default in your sample, thought.

I can be wrong; let's discuss more before submitting an issue report.
