Our suggestion

The pedalling added by Chopin in a proofreading of FE is inaccurately written, probably due to the lack of space in tightly packed text on the page. It resulted in different attempts of interpretation by the engravers of GE and EE. In the main text we interpret the pedalling of FE as the natural harmonic pedalling, in accordance with the one which was undeniably marked in bars 29-30.
