Shortening the slur at the end of bar 215 is a result of an inaccurate interpretation of GE1 by the engraver of FE (→EE). Interestingly, the reviser of GE2 not only introduced a similar change, but he also moved the beginning of the next slur, probably considering this type of a hidden coincidence of slurs to be illogical, hence – erroneous.
