Comment:

 I finally got Apache installed on my windows machine (using
 [http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html XAMPP for windows])
 and I could reproduce the issue:

 {{{
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "D:\Workspace\install\lib\python\trac\devel\Lib\site-
 packages\trac\web\modpython_frontend.py", line 206, in handler
     dispatch_request(mpr.path_info, mpr, env)
   File "D:\Workspace\install\lib\python\trac\devel\Lib\site-
 packages\trac\web\main.py", line 139, in dispatch_request
     dispatcher.dispatch(req)
   File "D:\Workspace\install\lib\python\trac\devel\Lib\site-
 packages\trac\web\main.py", line 107, in dispatch
     resp = chosen_handler.process_request(req)
   File "D:\Workspace\install\lib\python\trac\devel\Lib\site-
 packages\trac\attachment.py", line 265, in process_request
     self._do_save(req, attachment)
   File "D:\Workspace\install\lib\python\trac\devel\Lib\site-
 packages\trac\attachment.py", line 296, in _do_save
     if not upload.filename:
 }}}

 The above was without the attachment:util_py.patch

 Now, with the patch applied:
 {{{
 $ cd $PYTHONHOME/Lib/site-packages/mod_python
 $ cp util.py util.py-orig
 $ rm util.pyc
 $ rm util.pyo
 $ patch < util_py.patch
 (Stripping trailing CRs from patch.)
 patching file util.py
 }}}

 ... the problem is gone.

 I'll try to have a look if we can do something about that from within Trac
 (i.e. without the patch). At least some kind of warning could be produced.
