Looking at the source for attached_files(), I don't see how removing elements from the list it returns could detach the files. It looks like you can detach files manually by deleting from the sage.misc.preparser.attached dictionary, but there is a function `detach` that does the job (as foreshadowed by the comments on the trac ticket.
I guess a new ticket should be opened to update the documentation for `attach` to remove this incorrect statement and to mention `detach`. It would also be good if the `attach` documentation mentioned `load_attach_path`. Some of the documentation for `sage.misc.preparse.load` might be worth duplicating in `attach`, since it is unlikely to be seen by users as the documentation for `sage.misc.preparse.load`.
