 Replying to [comment:6 bobbingwide]:
 > The second patch makes it a lot more obvious that it's difficult to use
 the REST API to create an attachment which is actually attached to
 something!

 Not sure I'm following. `wp_insert_attachment()` is a simple wrapper for
 `wp_insert_post()` without any additional filters. What's the issue you're
 seeing here?
