I have no idea where Bernstein got his ideas from, or if the 'rule' is correct, but in any case 'accompanied with' is definitely in use and I don't feel like I can dismiss it out of hand. I just don't know the reasons why I would not use 'with' in that sentence I certainly find plenty of examples of "accompanied with" but none of them sound correct to me.
