The slur in  A

GE (→FE→EE)

In A, the slur clearly begins over the second quaver of the bar. The earlier beginning of that slur in GE (→FE→EE) is probably a result of a routine reading of the extent of that sign by the engraver of GE1. However, the fact that no corrections were made in FE or the teaching copies may point to Chopin's acceptance of the longer slur.
