#attribute is listed as one of the attributes a file element can have. It is listed in the Form API Reference
http://drupaldocs.org/api/head/file/contributions/docs/developer/topics/forms_api_reference.html#file
so we should have it implemented. Here is a patch that does just that.

What do you need this for?

Acidfree uses a nice little piece of javascript that sets the title field of the node (if it is empty) when the filename changes.

That and ALL the items should have #attributes per the documentation. The real question is why not. Leaving it out really limits the possibilities of file fields.
