Nope, same deal either way. Even if you don't have a low pass filter, there's still a piece of glass over the sensor itself.

Steve: So, if you do have a filter, are you cleaning it instead of the sensor or the glass that's over the sensor? Obviously I have no idea as to the sensor's internal structure

Yes. You never clean the "actual" surface of the sensor, it's always under something.

I have attached a "blow-up" picture of the sensor on the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV. That picture came from an article titled "Canon 1D Mark IV Optics" on Imaging-resource. You can read the full article at the link below.
