The placement of the  sign in A is almost certainly an example of the manner of placing indications within and not at the beginning of their scope of validity, sometimes used by Chopin  – cf. e.g. 1st mov., bar 329. This is how it was interpreted already in GE1 (→FE→EE, →GE2).

While writing , Chopin probably used a former convention, according to which a sign was put near to the middle of the range of its validity (in this case bars 253-254). This kind of notation is probably to be found in, e.g. the Etude in C major, op. 10 no. 1, bar 45.
