In A (→FE) and CGS there is no accidental before the bottom note of the last R.H. crotchet. Therefore, it should be interpreted as an a1, which must be a mistake. A was added by Fontana in FC (→GE) and by the reviser of EE. The accidental was also added in FED (with Chopin's hand) and FES.

Unslashed grace note in A (→FE→EE) & CGS

Slashed grace note in FC (→GE)
..

Replacing non-slashed grace notes – small quavers – by slashed ones is one of the mannerisms of Fontana as a copyist. As Chopin did not strictly observe the difference between both types of grace notes, in this case both versions of notation have the same meaning.
