There is so much 'technically' rhythmically wrong and unclear here.
Of course it is perfectly clear and expressive.
Imagine writing it as played and it feels like a different piece.

I've seen plenty of examples of Chopin's hand, and lots of
facsimiles, but I didn't know about this wonderful resource -- thanks
for the URL!

You've probably seen, but if not the above is examples of Chopin's
hand. Not sure he would get work as a copyist... A pianist who is a
friend owns (I think) all of the available  facsimiles and every
published edition that he can get of Chopin's entire output. A bit of a trainspotter but frequently fascinating. He also just about believes
that Angela Lear is the only pianist worth  hearing play Chopin. I'm
away but will give proper examples when back home, but the kind of
thing I mean is a minim on the first stem of three beamed quavers
rather than a dotted crotchet. Wrong but perfectly clear and
uncluttered.

Some specific citations would be much more useful than a general
assertion that what you suggest is there in the MSS.
