Hahaha!!
I love it, actually - and wish there was more of him playing with Django on the Clarke tin whistle. He did much for the Jazz community too.

I would love to jam with les on the penny whistle! I've been reborn.
Here's another annoying — or at least out-of-place? — thing in a Django recording. It's right in the middle of one of Django's most beautiful solos, at 2:10:
What is that sound? A misfired note on violin?

"What is that sound? A misfired note on violin?" And nicely syncopated on the upbeat too!
Interesting how any such audible interferences (like the cough in Body & Soul, and ^this^ misfire) in a recording session today would immediately trigger musicians and mean a necessary retake. No ifs or buts. But when people hear them today, (IF they hear them,) they kinda fall away into the background, conveniently forgotten. 🧐
Sounds more like a fingernail on guitar string thing to me. There's a similar fart in minor swing at around 0:56
And in I'll See You In My Dreams at around 1:22 here
I've always liked the thing in I'll See You at 1:22, because to me, he's got so much swing under his fingers, that sometimes it just gets away for a moment, but then he grabs back onto it.
Almost sounds like the snare part underneath the drum is getting triggered by either a sympathetic vibration or the drummer tweeked it in that moment.
The better the music, the less these little thing matter. lol
It happens in a lot of Django's recordings, at 1:11 in 1949 Dream of You (Geneve Switzerland) https://youtu.be/Ke0Vcw2nyL0?si=8nNpiaOoohX_k9cR&t=71 as well as 1:56 in Confessin' from 1953 https://youtu.be/biioK_L-Hvk?si=__yCiDCox-OdY3nx&t=116 come to mind. I think I've seen Stochelo and Jimmy Rosenberg do it too. It's the finger slipping off the string from heavy vibrato.
