A less probable reading of the slur in  A

A more probable reading of the slur in A (→GE→FE→EE)

When read literally, the slur in A begins from the 2nd note of the run. However, we think the notation is inaccurate here - the end of that slur is definitely moved to the right. The composer intended the slur to begin from the first sustained note, and this is how it was understood in GE (→FE→EE).
