Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 I don't see a reason to escape the text here. If someone calls
 `wp_get_attachment_link()` with `<script>` tags, they could as well insert
 them into the template file directly.

 That would be inconsistent with other `*_link()` functions which don't
 escape anchor text:

 * `the_feed_link()`
 * `post_comments_feed_link()`
 * `edit_term_link()`
 * `edit_post_link()`
 * `edit_comment_link()`
 * `edit_bookmark_link()`
 * `adjacent_post_link()`
 * `get_next_posts_link()`
 * `get_previous_posts_link()`
 * `get_next_comments_link()`
 * `get_previous_comments_link()`
