Seems more likely than 9A at least.
I haven't been upper deck for years. I don't fly 747s frequently and since reading about this I have avoided it. Only once a on a relatively short NRT-BKK flight in 2009 before I was aware of the issue.
The gap between 15A/15K and the fuselage is quite small. You will not be able to exit through it.
At most, the gap is 3".
