In A (→FE), there is no accidental to the last quaver. In this context, it is a patent inaccuracy by Chopin, who would often consider the accidentals defined in the first octave of a scale or passage to be valid in subsequent octaves too (cf. the next bar or, e.g. the Prelude in D minor, Op. 28 No. 24, b. 18). Both GE and EE added a sharp here.
