 Having looked at the core code wp_insert_attachment() calls
 wp_insert_post(). This latter function is specifically written to create a
 GUID but use any existing GUID in preference so it's not going to be a
 simple patch.

 Perhaps we need a core developer to give an opinion.

 My personal opinion is that this is straying into a risky area and that
 GUIDs should not really be changed, the code I use simply moves them about
 in the database.
