Update: I was able to confirm my theory below. It was specifically MultiFileUploadField's validation of file size via Form#setMaxSize that was causing the problem. Again, I question the value of this method if this is the result. It sounds like you have to put attachment uploading in its own separate form. Is this supposed to be standard practice?
