You must mean bar 109. There, the second 16th of the second beat is an F natural in the Winterthur fragment (it's quite clear) and many people now play it as such. Most earlier editions (but not the NMA) leave it as an F#, so that's what we have been used to hearing. Frost plays an F natural, so the second beat of bar 109 goes G F natural E D.

I myself also play a Bb in the later passage, as do some others.
