Mick's vocals on Angie. The tape ran slower when he recorded it, according to Miller.

I"ve never heard of it. Was this done because Mick was having trouble reaching the high notes?

Yep. I think the interview with Jimmy Miller was posted here a few weeks ago. Great interview, btw.

Yes, a pretty common studio technique. Led Zeppelin, amongst others, also get an honourable mention here ("The Song Remains The Same" and other stuff). Usually noticable when live versions of certain songs have the melody of the lead voice altered to avoid the high notes that appear in the studio versions.

That's funny, when I played along my guitar tuner says exactly 440Hz. That would imply that the entire band was recorded with a slower running tape, not Jagger only.Or am I missing something?

The band was recorded normally and the tape was slowed down only during the vocal overdub. When played back at the right speed, the whole thing goes back to "440Hz" and only Mick's part is actually manipulated.
