The harmony is ambiguous and the C# and D# follow it's pull, but I don't think anything in the progression suggests raising the F.
If I remember, the harmony of that bar is an F augmented triad in first inversion (or an A augmented triad in root position--the charm of the opening section is that the music alternates between Bb Major and D minor by way of this augmented chord, which functions as the dominant of both keys).
At any rate, an Eb (clarinet's F) sounds much more harmonious with the augmented triad than an E natural, which clashes horribly with the piano's F. Also, as you point out, the music is moving back to Bb; E natural, then, doesn't make much sense for the phrase.
