I have not under gone NACO training for creating authorities yet but can ask advice of someone that has if needed. See http://www.loc.gov/marc/authority/ad100.html

 I can't think of any reason why $e would appear in an authority record; certainly not as part of an authorized heading (1xx), at least as authority work is currently done (in NACO).  PCC is still working on guidelines [1], with an example saying not to include $e: Guideline 3: "When constructing authorized access points for works and expressions, do not include a relationship designator as part of the access point. ".
