2 ties in A & FE3

3 ties in GC (→GE)

No ties in FE1 (→FE2) & EE

The additional tie to d1 results either from a mistake, or from an unconsidered revision by the copyist in GC (→GE) – that note belongs to the first theme of the Ballade, and of course must be played. The lack of ties in FE1 (→FE2) and EE is probably due to the misunderstanding of A. In FE3 the ties were most probably added by a reviser on the basis of A, although we cannot exclude Chopin's participation in this kind of correction.
