Well, if you follow the video, it would look weird if Barry sang from behind the scene, and not appear a moment later.
So yes, it most likely was intentional.
But if no back singer sang that phrase, it kinda created vacuum in the melody, and they filled it up for the production.
But I don't think they were going for a Barry impersonator. A proper backup singer, more like it. And although he sounded
great, he couldn't compete with the Real Thing. It sounds more like a karaoke version in that moment.

 You can hear Marx sing the line twice in the recording on the first verse - it’s not Barry’s voice. He would’ve been offstage at that point before he was revealed to the audie

Me neither. Doesn't sound kosher to me.

Marx filled in for Barry Gibb on “Guilty,” his duet with Barbra Streisand, after the Bee Gee forgot to sing a line.
 
And that’s him on the live version of “Guilty” by Barbra Streisand and Barry Gibb. Gibb had forgotten to sing a line, so Marx was hired to imitate his voice later in the studio, singing in falsetto, “It oughta be illegal.”
“No one was any wiser,” Marx writes.
