Comment (by imath):

 @johnjamesjacoby i've tested 6278.02.patch. This is shaping good :)

 A few suggestions :
 > Added test_form to wp_handle_upload() overrides, so form submission
 works

 I think we shouldn't bypass the test form. Your form submission wasn't
 working because the upload action was not set. Defining `test_form` to
 false simply allow any upload.

 So i moved the `'bp_avatar_upload'` into the arguments of `$bp->avatar =
 new BP_Attachment_Avatar( $args );`

 I've also introduced a new global : $bp->upload_dir so that the first to
 use BP_Attachment will define once and for all the upload dir so we
 eventually switch blog only once.

 Finally i think we should provide a way to restrict uploads by mime types.
 So i've introduced a new property $allowed_mime_types.

 About the way WordPress is managing this is a bit annoying it restricts
 the download, which is good but the message is a bit weird ('Sorry, this
 file type is not permitted for security reasons.') and i think we cannot
 override it. That's why i keep on using the specific rule for avatars.

 see BP_Attachment->validate_mime_types() for some other comments.

 I've included these points in 6278.03.patch
