Utter rubbish. The ghost notes beatween beats are a clear Charlie trade mark.
Another musician who just happened to be in the studio (how convemient), wouldn't take over another musicians role because he was late, (I presume Charlie missed the bus did he?).
He wouldn't know the song well enough to play it confidently and it wouldn't sound like the Rolling Stones.
The only exception to this is, "Its only Rock and Roll" (Kenney Jones on drums) and the few tracks on Exile where Jimmy Miller played and YCAGWYW on Let it Bleed.
But those instances are well documented and this isn't.

Just saw this old thread while googling Mick Waller...check out this interview from the Harvard Crimson in 1968 ( while the Beck group played a few Boston Tea Party dates ).

Mick Waller says he played bongos on the studio version of JJF. News to me.

I have read/heard that the bass drum was overdubbed because Charlie was playing that travelling/practice drum kit and it's bass sound needed enhancing. I thought I read that Dave Mason did the overdubbing.
Charlie's good tonight, isn't he?Quote
