 `?p=N` (where `N` is an attachment ID) redirects to the "proper" permalink
 if it's attached to a published post, and to `?attachment_id=N` otherwise
 (see [14355] and [14595]). I could not reproduce the 404 error neither in
 current trunk nor in 3.0.

 > Compare http://ma.tt/?p=38232 and http://ma.tt/?attachment_id=38232. The
 parent post is published yet the 'p=' query produces a 404, not a
 redirect.

 Both links now redirect to http://ma.tt/2011/05/balloon-ride/mcm_9083/.
