Our suggestion
..

The fingering, given by Chopin in a proofreading of FE (→GE), was, according to us, erroneously reproduced – the digits referring to the bottom notes, placed in the editions over the notes, were mistakenly printed two semiquavers late. In EE Fontana completed the fingering of the upper voice over the 9th and 10th semiquavers.

e1 in A

d1 in FE (→GE,EE)
..

While proofreading FE (→GE,EE), Chopin changed the notation of the bottom note of the 5th and 6th semiquavers from e1 to d1. At the same time, he did not realise that after the change, a  returning d1 in the last pair of semiquavers should be added. The mistake was corrected in GE and EE4.

 in A & EE4

No sign in FE (→GE,EE3)
..

Omission of the  hairpins in FE (→GE,EE3) is certainly an error of the engraver. The sign of A appears also in two analogous places (bars 4 and 12). The hairpins in EE4 were added probably on the basis of the comparison with these bars.
