The missing accidental before the 2nd semiquaver is probably an oversight (of the engraver or of Chopin himself). It is indicated by the situation in bar 414 in which the necessary  before d​​​​​​​3 – unquestionable in that case – is also missing.

b. 414

composition: Op. 16, Rondo in E♭ major

..

In FE (→EE1), there is no accidental before the 4th semiquaver, which results in d3 both on the 4th and the 6th semiquavers. Due to the C major key (A​​​​​​​ minor) valid from the middle of bar 412, it must be considered a mistake, probably repeated after [A]. The necessary  lowering d3 to d3 was added in GE and EE2 (→EE3).

In the sources, the cautionary  at the beginning of the bar is before B in the bass, yet it is absent before bin the R.H., where it is more justified. It seems that Chopin did not combine these two elements:

  • the sign in the R.H. did not seem to be necessary, same as the  returning g2 on the 3rd beat of this bar was overlooked – Chopin heard and wrote both voices independently.
  • the sign in the L.H. was copied while correcting this note from the original d, which makes it a momentum error – the correction is proved by a visible deletion of this note (see also corrections in analogous bars 461-462).

In the main text we remove the  in the L.H. and add it in the R.H.

Differently than in analogous bar 426, there is no cautionary  before b in A (→GE1FEEE), yet there is a  before e1, unnecessary in this context. In GE2, a  was added to the . In the main text we give a more logical notation, used by Chopin in bar 426 as well as in two analogous places (bars 466 and 468).
The sources include a superfluous  also before ein the R.H. Cf. bars 413-415.
