Comment:

 "Uploaded to" just means that you had the post open when you uploaded the
 image - it describes original intent. Nothing "breaks" because of it.

 The editor takes freeform content. The engine does not parse your content
 looking for what you might have to done to freeform HTML that was inserted
 into the post when updating.

 The main reason we cannot break the relationship of "Uploaded to" is
 simple: `[gallery]` can exist with no attributes, and will pull the images
 "Uploaded to" the post. Same is true for `[playlist]`.

 If that relationship is broken because they aren't in the post on save,
 this would break many existing posts that relied on `[gallery]`.
