Comment:

 An attachment's post_status is "inherit", meaning that it inherits the
 status of its parent post.

 This code over in class-wp-posts-rest-controller.php checks the status of
 the parent to determine if the post's parent is readable:

 {{{
                 // Can we read the parent if we're inheriting?
                 if ( 'inherit' === $post->post_status &&
 $post->post_parent > 0 ) {
                         $parent = get_post( $post->post_parent );
                         if ( $parent ) {
                                 return $this->check_read_permission(
 $parent );
                         }
                 }
 }}}

 If the parent post is trashed, then it is not readable, which makes the
 attachment item also not readable.
