Our suggestion

Chopin added the staccato dot over e and stems extending the sound of g1 on the 2nd and 4th quavers in the L.H. in the proofreading of FE1 (→FE2). We consider this correction, repeated in bar 60, to be intentionally referring to the return of the main section of the Polonaise too (bars 116 and 164), as in A it was only signalised as repetition of the first section.
According to us, extending the top notes of the third only is either a simplified notation or a result of misunderstanding of Chopin's proofreading entry. Therefore, in the main text we assign the crotchet stems to both notes of the e1-gthird. The versions of the remaining editions are either inaccurate (EE1) or arbitrarily changed (GE).
