Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 [attachment:media.patch] looks reversed. Even with that corrected, it
 would cause notices, since `wp_handle_upload()` result doesn't contain the
 `name` key:
 {{{
 Notice: Undefined index: name in wp-admin/includes/media.php on line 215
 Notice: Undefined index: extension in wp-admin/includes/media.php on line
 221
 }}}

 [attachment:21679.patch] fixes the notices, but has one side effect.

 Currently, if you upload "Picture.jpg" several times, the attachments will
 have "Picture" title.

 With the patch, the titles would be "Picture", "Picture1", "Picture2",
 etc.

 A workaround for the inability to change the title with
 `wp_handle_upload_prefilter` would probably be to hook into
 `add_attachment` and alter the title after the attachment has been
 uploaded.
