The omission of the mordent in FE (→EE1) is certainly a mistake – it is hard to imagine that Chopin could have not noticed the remaining mistakes while possibly removing the ornament. However, it should be emphasised that in FED Chopin did not add , in spite of having corrected two other mistakes in the 1st half of the bar. The sign was added in EE2 (→EE3), probably after GE1. The staccato dot present in the sources is a result of a mistake of GE1 – see the note above.

The staccato dot on the 1st quaver in the bar is undoubtedly a mistake of the engraver of GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2) who probably considered its absence to be Chopin's oversight (similarly in the next bar). In A, Chopin marked the portato articulation (dots under the slur) in both bars only from the 2nd note, after the mordent.

In A Chopin overlooked the  restoring a1, which was not noticed in any of the editions. Similarly in analogous bar 287.

In A Chopin overlooked the  returning d2. The patent error was corrected in EE2 (→EE3) and GE2. A flat was added also – probably by Chopin – in FED.
