Let me add some more.  It looks like attachment filenames are modified
by mutt when the mail is sent as well as when it is attached.  So, if
you send yourself a mutt message, it will never have an absolute path.
Still client-side security.

Send yourself a message with an attachment.  vi $MAIL and edit the
pathname of the attachment such that it is absolute.  View the message
parts in mutt, save the attachment, and note that the default name
uses the absolute path.

An easy solution is to make the default name s,/,_,g which is
something mutt already does (for the filenames of attachments with
absolute paths visible immediately before sending:
/tmp/_etc_passwd.RANDOM).  Then, even if you have a file with that
name (unlikely), it will prompt you for "overwrite, append, cancel".
