Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 The `get_post_status()` function accounts for attachments with an
 `inherit` status on trashed and deleted parents:

 * for attachments on trashed posts, it returns the parent's status
 immediately prior to it been trashed: `get_post_meta( $post->post_parent,
 '_wp_trash_meta_status', true )`
 * for attachments on deleted posts, it assumes the attachment has a
 published status

 Could the REST API use `get_post_status()` in the attachment controller
 when determining the permissions?
