Klose turn

I have a very sharp 9th grade student who has played the 2nd book of Rubank duets is able handle harder, longer ones, so I've begun playing the Klose Fifteen Grand Duets with him. We started playing the first duet and I quickly started to remember how many misprints there are (in the Fischer edition). My student is picking up on errors I've taken for granted and ignored for a long time. After crossing out a couple of stray dots and fixing a couple of wrong rhythms, he noticed a comma, like a tiny breath mark under one of the turns (see the attached graphic). He thought it was an odd place for a breath, and I assumed at first it was a misprint and that a sharp sign was intended. But then I noticed that this notation occurs several more times, so that I'm sure they aren't mistakes. I've never noticed it before - the comma is very small and I've never had my attention drawn to it in 50 years of playing these duets.

Does anyone know what it means? My first intuition from context is still that it means to raise the lower auxiliary. But it would be interesting to know for sure.
