I can't help with what the editors of the forthcoming edition require, but it's interesting that Sapelnikoff, who played the work with Tchaikovsky conducting, recorded the work in the 1920s and performed it in the form that is usually played. This doesn't necessarily prove, of course, that he used this version in his performances with Tchaikovsky or that the composer sanctioned the changes; it might just mean that, later in his career, he adopted the version in which the work had become generally known.
