4 staccato dots in A

16 wedges in GE (→FE,EE)

8 R.H. wedges in FESB

As with bar 224, it seems highly unlikely that the replacement of the four dots (emphasising in A the final melodic idea in this phrase) with wedges (reminding that the variation should be performed staccato) was introduced by GE1 under the influence of Chopin. In this edition this bar opens the page, which could have prompted the engraver (reviser?) to reinterpret the Chopinesque markings in such a way (markings that could be considered incomplete, cf. the adjacent note). The absence of wedges in the L.H. part in FESB is most probably the engraver's mistake.
