An International Master in Kasparov's camp was quoted the next day in the newspaper that the 7. ... h6 move was one agreed upon earlier. Garry himself stated months later in an interview that he regretted the decision to play 7. ... h6. So the move was never a slip of the finger as it was characterized in news articles immediately following the match. It was played by design." Buy Hsu's book to read more.
