Looking at this piece in the Siena manuscript, the rhythm for the
opening statement is not the same as in the answering statements. So
there's certainly room for doubt.
I think the opening statement may have been 'corrected' in the Ness
edition (I don't have it here to check). However, since several
different rhythms are used for this motif, changing one of them doesn't
make the counterpoint any more uniform. Let it stand, and enjoy the
diversity!
