This is indeed the behavior of accept-process-output.  I checked the
code, as well as the following test-case, which works fine.

(let (proc)
  (setq foo 1 bar nil)
  (push 1 bar)
  (setq proc (start-process "asdf" (current-buffer) "ls" "/"))
  (set-process-filter proc (lambda (proc string) (push string bar)))
  (setq foo (accept-process-output proc 0))
  (push 2 bar))
