Hmm, in the first mail you said that you set org-attach-store-link-p to t, but 
in your config it says 'attached. I've tried with a minimal config as well 
(using emacs -q because I build the newest org mode version into the emacs 
folder) and can only reproduce your issue when using the attached option for 
org-attach-store-link-p and then inserting that link with C-c C-l /in another 
heading/. Pasting the link in another heading is expected to break since the 
attachment link is context dependent (i.e. requires an attachment folder). 
Makes sense? If I'm still misunderstanding your use-case, would you care to 
describe the steps to reproduce it more in detail?
