I'm not sure there's any bug here and the behavior is expected. The option to download or delete is only available after the attachment is uploaded. That said, I think we can consider adding the ability to download or delete a "pending" attachment. Going to make this internal so that someone with cycles can investigate.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!
