The prelude in Ab (BWV 886) has a db3 in m. 68. If it was transposed the likeliness is high, that it was in a lower key. G major results in a “natural” compass CDE-c3).
The fugue in a (BWV 889 doubles the a in the final chord: contra-A.
Prelude in B (BWV 892) has two contra-B, one as the aim of a cadence, one in the final chord.
And Fugue b minor (BWV 893) one contra-B, in the final chord.
Seems like that C-c3 is still the standard compass even in WTC 2, and that the four examples are exceptions.
