Staccato dot in A

No mark in FC (→GE) & FE (→EE)

The oversight of the staccato dot by the sources based directly on A is justified, to a certain extent, since the small sign is placed not only above the note, but also above the ending of the slur, so that one could have easily overlooked it. The fact that Chopin almost certainly meant a dot in this place is proven by analogous b. 411, in which a more distinct mark was noticed by the copyist.
