New description:

 The options to "allow comments on this post" and "allow trackbacks and
 pingbacks on this post" have been deselected.  The post will then return
 the expected message "Both comments and pings are currently closed".  (ie.
 http://localhost/wordpress/?p=42)  However, when selecting an image from
 an embedded native Gallery of that post, the image redirects to an
 attachment_id (ie. http://localhost/wordpress/?attachment_id=38)and still
 has a comments field.  There is no decipherable means to disable comments
 on attachments through the native gallery.

 If this is the expected behavior, I would believe that if a post may
 disable comments, then all of its content should be disabled.

 attachments don't have parents)
