The  asterisk is only in FE, which almost certainly means that Chopin added it in the last stage of proofreading of this edition. AI does not feature any pedalling markings in this fragment.

Our variant suggestion
..

The missing  mark in AF is probably an inaccuracy; Chopin wanted both bars to be performed with one pedal, which is confirmed by a  mark added – probably by the composer – in the proofreading stage of FE. In the main text, we leave the choice of one of the versions – FE or GE – to the discretion of the performer.

In this context the missing  must be considered an inadvertence, hence we add it after the previous bars.
