Try this version Dave, at around 1:28 just as the last note of Hanks "solo" fades:
I first noticed it recently on a backing track I downloaded that was made from the original recording with lead guitar removed. Without Hanks guitar in the mix, the sound was quite prominent, and I just assumed it was an error in the BT. I've since played the full original recording and was surprised to find the same sound present. I now find that I miss the sound when I listen to any cover versions!

I suspect that it's finger noise on a wirewound (roundwound) string. The same thing is prominent on part of Peace Pipe.
You're probably right - it has to be something like that. Does sound odd though, and once you hear it, you can't un-hear it (is that even a word?).
