The slur in  A

GE (→FEEE)

..

In A, the slur clearly begins over the second quaver of the bar. The earlier beginning of that slur in GE (→FEEE) 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.

 A, graphic reading

 GE (→FEEE)

..

The hairpins in A may be considered slightly too short (which is difficult to notice in practice with the narrowed notation of  A). Still. Chopin could not have intended a half-bar mark visible in GE (→FEEE).

A more probable interpretation of the staccato sign in A

A dot in  GE (→FEEE)

..

It is not certain which staccato sign Chopin actually had in mind in A. The comparison with analogous situations makes us consider a wedge to be more likely than a dot. Still, the editions have the dot.

A vertical accent in  A (→GE2)

 Without an accent in GE1 (→FEEE)

..

 A (→#Wn2) has a vertical accent that was omitted in GE1 (→FEEE), most probably by mistake.
