The second slur in FE is almost certainly erroneous (perhaps it is a mistake repeated after the original version of GE1, which was then corrected in the last phase of proofreading). The version of EE, certainly contrary to Chopin's intention, is probably an attempt to organise slurs over similar figures in bars 316-318.

FE overlooked the  raising a to a. The patent mistake was corrected in EE. The correct text is also in A (→GE).

The division of the slur in GE (→FE), as a result of which the 2nd half in bar 328 is not embraced with a slur at all, is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1. The version of FE – without a slur in bar 329 – can be interpreted as an oversight of FE or as a notation of the state of GE1 from before the final retouch. In the second case, the slur of GE1 in bar 329 would be an inaccurate attempt to alleviate the consequences of omission of the final one-and-a-half-bar fragment of the slur. A suitable completion of the slur, this time accurate, was introduced in EE. See also the note on the slur in the L.H.

The version of FE is almost certainly erroneous (in that edition a number of Terzverschreibung mistakes was committed). The error was corrected in EE.
