It is difficult to say whether the A version was intended by Chopin, as it deviates from the figuration scheme both in the adjacent bars and in analogous places the times this section has previously appeared (bars 73-75 and 160-162) – in all the remaining figures the 3rd and 5th quavers are identical, while the chord without a seventh appears only just in the 3rd bar (in this case 242). Chopin could have confused the beginning of the discussed bar with the beginning of the next one, which can be indicated by the missing  to the topmost note, superfluous in bar 242. Taking that into account, in the main text we give the FE version, which almost certainly resulted from a Chopinesque correction at the stage of proofreading FE1. In the main text we add a cautionary  to the discussed note. The accidental was also added in EE.
