Sub request by definition is the separate Request object with own set of
attributes (potentially with ability to access parent or global request
attributes - via special convention, may be?). Once sub request is completed, all sub request attributes shall be discarded, leaving environment only with
parent attributes. Does it make sense?

It's the bit about "potentially with ability to access parent or
global request" that seems to be the issue really isn't it?  I can't
see how this would be optional?

IIUC original issue was about adding "all request relevant information as attributes of the request object". Since for sub request those will be attributes of sub request, they will not interfere with parent request: sub request's "objectModel" (or "flowContext", etc) will mask parent's completely and thus won't allow modification of parent's "objectModel".

This is similar to current wrapper behavior for parameters:

    public String getParameter(String name) {
        String value = this.parameters.getParameter(name);
        if (value == null && this.rawMode == false)
            return this.req.getParameter(name);
        else
            return value;
    }
