 > Technically it seems like we could solve it by adding the new crop among
 the stored intermediate image sizes associated to the original image, as
 opposed to creating a new attachment.

 There are other use cases for WordPress to define a data structure for
 handling variations on a single attachment, which should be kept in mind
 here. We would want to consider create multiple image sizes associated
 with a crop so we could do responsive images and not cross-pollute between
 different crop types.
