In AI, in each of these bars, Chopin wrote a  (cautionary?) to a. The fact that this unnecessary accidental was repeated a few times suggests that the composer was uncertain about the presence of the  raising a in the key signature of the B major/G minor keys. Cf. the Etude in G minor, Op. 25 No. 6, bars 7-8.
