The scope of the  mark's validity is not entirely clear in A. It most probably concerns the entire bar, as it was understood in FE (→GE,EE), however, it cannot be excluded that Chopin wanted to suggest here a separation of the motif beginning from the 2nd quaver in the bar – cf. bars 23-24.

Contextual interpretation of A (→FEGE,EE)

..

Despite the difference in arrangement and number of indications, the character and flow of this phrase were not subject to any change, as it seems. The fact of having written under the 2nd octave in bar 28 in A is most probably an example of a manner of arranging indications near the middle of the scope of their validity and this is how it was interpreted in FE (→GE,EE).
