Good ones!
I took out my copy of Campbell's Old English Grammar, and apparently these different outcomes of i-mutated éa are not spelling variants but dialexical differences: íe (later í, ý) is West Saxon, while é is Kentish and Anglian. Should've known!
(Though Late West Saxon also had é from unmutated(!) éa before c, g and h and after c, g and sc.)
