Here we go, and this one ought to be a little more portable. I guess
I'll do it as a proper patch in a bit.

(defun org-attach-clean-dirs (&optional attach-dir clean-archived)
  (interactive)
  (let ((attach-dir
         (if attach-dir
             (file-name-as-directory attach-dir)
           (concat (file-name-as-directory org-directory)
                   org-attach-directory)))
        (valid-dir-re "\\`[0-9a-z-]+\\'")
        (org-id-search-archives (if clean-archived nil org-id-search-archives)))
    (dolist (d (directory-files attach-dir nil valid-dir-re))
      (dolist (d+ (directory-files
                   (concat attach-dir d) nil valid-dir-re))
        (let ((id (format "%s%s" d d+))
              (full-path (concat
                          attach-dir
                          (file-name-as-directory d)
                          d+)))
          (unless (org-id-find id)
            (delete-directory full-path t)))))))
