Inverted long accent in A1, probably interpretation

The mark of A1, with arms of different length, may be interpreted as a reversed long accent or a short  hairpin, which would correspond to the version of GE. According to us, the former is more likely; however, in the main text we adopt a non-reversed long accent, which may be a result of Chopinesque proofreading of FE and which is compliant with the unquestionable marking in analogous b. 76.
