It's interesting to notice, that even the so called critical editions don't follow the autograph fragment exactly, not even the neue Mozart Ausgabe: They haven't changed bars 23-24 to be played according to the manuscript. And for example Bärenreiter has even changed phrasing in many places such as bar 84. So, also Very Wise Men, who are not "pseudo scholars", also consider the early printed versions (Andre, Breitkopf, Sieber) as valid sources, even more valid than the manuscript fragment, which is as clearly as it can be, a rejected sketch. I may be wrong, but i have understood, that the flat note doesn't appear in any of them.
Having also taught students to try to master this piece, my opinion is, that this problematics should be instructed to students. Actually every time i teach this piece, i have got both the manuscript fragment and original Breitkopf clarinet part with, from which i show students these interesting things!
