It can't since we chose to not version checkpoints on snapshots. Thus if you've taken a checkpoint and then a snapshot and want to detach the disk, reverting to the checkpoint will add the disk back and the checkpoint must stay valid. As the checkpoint is not versioned we wouldn't have the data to add it back.
