Comment:

 Consider the following.

 I for some reason want categories to apply to attachments. So, I add this
 code somewhere (functions.php, mu-plugin, plugin, pick your poison):

 {{{
 #!php
 add_action( 'init', function() {
         register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'attachment' );
 });
 }}}

 I then set the category while creating an attachment somewhere else:

 {{{
 #!php
 wp_insert_attachment(
         array( 'post_status' => 'publish',
                 'post_title' => 'Robin Williams dancing to Thriller with
 Jim Carrey',
                 'post_category' => array( 3, 5 ) ) );
 }}}

 The code that's on the chopping block here will be needed to cover this
 edge case. Suggest a close here as wontfix. @jeremyfelt, thoughts?
