The missing tie of B is either a mistake of the engraver of FE or a liberal interpretation – initially, it was also f that was tied in A, yet Chopin crossed out that tie, which, considering the staccato dot over the B-f fifth, could be regarded as an inaccurately marked abandonment of both ties. The tie was added in EE2 probably after GE1.
