Slurs in A (→GE→FE→EE)

The editors' alternative proposition

A (→GE→FE→EE) has two slurs in this bar. In all the analogous places further on in the text (seven in total) the slur running from the 1st note of the bar ends in the subsequent bar. Then, it may be the case that the slurring in bar 61 is an initial version left unchanged due to Chopin's oversight.
