I think the wash sale rule still applies, because the point of the
wash rule is to subject you to market risk before you can take the
loss. So the disallowed loss gets transferred to the stock in the
Roth IRA, but as this is a tax-free trading account, you lose the wash-
sale carryover.

Discussed here many times. Wash rule applies if the sale was a loss. Of
course if the sale was a gain, you pay the tax, and are free to
repurchase in any account you wish.
See http://www.fairmark.com/capgain/wash/wsira.htm for their explanation
as well.

Default Wash sale in different accounts

If I sell an amount of holdings in a mutual fund on a certain date, in
a non-retirement account, and purchase the exact same amount of the
same fund on the same date, but in a Roth IRA, will the wash sale rule
still apply?
