The missing asterisk in A is undoubtedly a mistake – this kind of oversights would happen to Chopin on a number of occasions, and the end of a page always fosters inaccuracies. The total oversight of the second pedal in this bar in GE1 (→FE→EE) is also to be considered a mistake – there is no reason to use a different pedalling in the ending of this bar than in three previous analogous bars 234, 236 and 238. GE2 added both a and a . In this context, the placement of the sign adopted there is the only reasonable one, hence we give this version in the main text.
