 === To replicate: ===

 1. Visit Media ->Add New and upload a media file
 2. Visit Posts ->Add New
 3. Click Add Media
 3. Select the media file previously uploaded and set Link To setting to
 Attachment Page
 4. Publish the post
 5. View post and click on image

 === What I expected: ===

 To be taken to the attachment page for the image

 === What happened instead: ===

 I got a Page not found error. Additionally the URL is formed as
 `http://SITE_URL/FILE_SLUG/` which is not the correct format for media
 attachment pages.

 I went back to the editor, clicked the image and clicked the edit icon.
 The Link To setting now shows that I have a Custom URL set instead of
 Attachment Page.

 Updating the setting to attachment page again changes the URL to
 `http://SITE_URL/YEAR/MONTH/POST_SLUG/FILE_SLUG/`

 If I now update the post, I can click the image to view the attachment
 page.

 === Context: ===

 Reported via the [http://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/problems-with-
 images-and-attachment-page-custom-url-settings WordPress.com support
 forums], but I've confirmed it on a non-WordPress.com site as well.
