It seems unlikely that Chopin would have wanted to change here a fixed accompaniment scheme with E, e and B​​​​​​​ notes as the ostinato bass figure. Therefore, the g note featured in the sources as the 2nd quaver is almost certainly a typical Terzverschreibung mistake.

In FE (→GE,EE), there is a  before the 6th semiquaver. A comparison with four analogous bars (54, 62, 78 and 362) proves a mistake of the engraver in this place.

In GE, bar 222 opens a new great stave, resulting in an inaccurate slurring – a new slur begins on the 1st note, although the extended ending of the slur in the previous bar clearly points to its continuation.
