Comment (by koopersmith):

 Helen's comment above is exactly on point. In 3.5, we're working with the
 following concept:

 If an attachment is uploaded while editing another post, we record that
 post's ID as the attachment's post_parent.

 This will allow code that utilizes the post_parent field to continue
 working as intended, but expresses the concept in a less restrictive
 way: an attachment can only be uploaded to a single post. This does not
 prevent us from inserting the attachment into any number of posts or
 galleries, and allows us to retain backwards compatibility while
 continuing to treat the data as meaningful (rather than deprecated).
