..

In A Chopin forgot to repeat the tie sustaining a flat1 in the new system. This most probably caused an error in GE1, where that tie is missing. The error was corrected, probably by Chopin, in FE (→EE), it was also rectified in GE2.

A wedge in A

A dot in GE

The sign was removed in the proofing of FE (→EE)
..

The engraver of GE rendered the wedge from A as a dot. That sign is very poorly visible in FE; this may be due to faulty printing (cf. bar 1), but it is more probable that Chopin removed the dot while proofing FE (→EE).
