I think it's a dead certainty. The melody's the same, the rhythm's the same, even the ho-hum factor is the same. The question is, was it deliberate? I know that I've had cool riffs and lines come to me, only to realise later that I'd heard them before, and they weren't mine after all.
Of course, the other question is, does it really matter? The ruckus will probably not hurt sales for either artist, and the fact that they have to argue about it underscores how nebulous this idea of ripping off another artist can be. We all get our inspirations from somewhere, and we've only got 12 notes to play with, etc, etc...
