I always heard it was Lennon, I believe he hit the wrong string (Lewisohn)
Emerick said, "Right between the lines 'The minute you let her under your skin/ Oh, then you begin' you can clearly hear Paul curse off mic saying 'F****** hell!'" He explained that Paul said it after playing the wrong note on the piano.
I also heard it was actually Lennon, and that it was because he came in late on his harmony vocal.
It's there, but unless you're really listening hard, you can barely hear it as it kinda gets muffled pretty quickly.
The outtake of "A Day In the Life" on Anthology does have Paul saying "Oh Sh*t!" when he screwed up the line "Somebody spoke & I went into a dream..."
