d2 in A (→GEEE,IE), contextual interpretation & FE

c2 in IE

In A (→GEEE) there is no accidental to the top note of the penultimate fourth, which gives d2. The flat to d2 in the next quaver proves Chopin's patent mistake, yet it was only FE that added the necessary . In IE the erroneous GE version was revised by changing this note to c2, which is quite satisfying in terms of sound, yet certainly inauthentic.
