In A (→FE1,FC→GE1) there are no flats restoring e2 in these bars, which is Chopin's patent inadvertence. The accidentals were added in EE (both), FE2 (only in b. 26) and GE2 (only in b. 27).

EE has a  (cautionary?) before the penultimate semiquaver. In the editors' opinion, it could have been placed there by mistake – it was presumably meant to restore d2 one note before, where it occurs in all the remaining sources, and where it is necessary (the distances between notes indicate that the  restoring d2 was initially omitted, and added only later).

..

In A (→FC,FE) there is no accidental before the 2nd semiquaver in the last group. The patent mistake, probably caused by the corrections to the figuration in the 2nd half of the bar, was rectified in GE and EE.
