A is missing the  before the penultimate semiquaver (b). Chopin noticed this patent inaccuracy while proofreading FE, yet initially the sign was erroneously inserted before the last note (d1), which was reproduced in GE1 (→GE2).

 b1 on 3rd beat in FE1
..

The mistake was also corrected by revisers of GE and EE, who moved the sign from the 3rd beat to the 2nd. In the main text we give both signs due to graphic reasons (division of the bar between two lines of the text).
