Comment (by joyously):

 > A valid attachment ID can no longer return false as the status
 > attachment with inherit status always inherits parent posts status
 unless trashed (need to confirm this is correct)
 > if the meta data is not set/the parent post does not exist the
 attachment defaults to publish

 `publish` seems like the wrong default for an attachment with no parent.
 Where is it published? I would suggest `draft` in this case.

 Is this marked for a dev note? There could be plugins checking for
 `false`.
