I agree that F-natural sounds better, and I think I've probably played it that way. But it happens twice. A misprint might be an explanation once, but I think you have to wonder about it and maybe listen with fresh ears when the "error" is repeated, especially when both the score and a contemporaneous piano/vocal reduction also agree with the "misprint." After all, if the notation is taken literally, the note *should* be F-sharp.
To RefacerMan, listen to a few recordings on YouTube. If they're unanimous in playing F-natural, then at least you have "performance tradition" to lean on.
