 Currently, with WordPress 2.2.1, when using a custom permalink structure
 containing the %category% tag, permalinks to attachment posts become
 broken. It seems to have something to do with the attachments having no
 category and thus cause the link to become broken.

 Using the permalink scheme /archives/%category%/%postname%/ an example
 attachment 'bar' attached to the post 'foo' which happens to be in the
 general category results in the following broken permalink
 http://sitename.com/archives/general/foo/bar/. The permalink makes sense,
 but doesn't work due to the attachment post not inheriting the
 category(ies) of the post it is attached to.
