Doesn't matter. As the purpose of the etude is to practice lip trills between a range of adjacent harmonics, the fact that the f is out of tune isn't of all that great importance, though if you can manage a trill that sounds in tune between that pair of harmonics, so much the better. Of course, for concert use, I would trill from e to f using the 2nd valve on the Bb side. But Simon referred to an etude with a named specific learning objective. There's no point in using valve trills in an exercise whose specific purpose is developing facility in lip trills.
