Long accents in A, contextual interpretation

Short accents in A (literal reading) & FE (→GE,EE)

It is uncertain which type of accents Chopin had in mind. The signs in A, particularly the second, are clearly shorter than these in the R.H., yet in all analogous figures in bars 7, 15 and 27-28 A displays long accents.
