If you are using a somewhat recent version of LilyPond, the problem more
likely is that you accidentally did not set the accidental style in the
first place.  Note that #(set-accidental-style 'dodecaphonic) written in
music does nothing: it calculates music expressions that set the
accidental style, then returns them as a Scheme value, and LilyPond
ignores Scheme in music by default (not so as an argument of a music
function, however).

You have to write $(set-accidental-style 'dodecaphonic) instead, or more
simply,

\accidentalStyle "dodecaphonic"

I find that
{
  \accidentalStyle "dodecaphonic"
  \override Accidental #'hide-tied-accidental-after-break = ##t
  cis~ cis cis~ cis~ \break cis~ cis cis~ cis
}

works just like I would expect.
