The only site that I've experienced this issue on is the internal website we
use at my job, so the criticality of it is very low (as far as I can tell).

As for the behavior, logically I think it makes the most sense to submit to
(from the attachment):

http://localhost/foo/zoo/base/attachment.cgi?submit=Submit+The+Form

The reasoning: you take the <base> because all relative URIs should be resolved
from that. Then concatenate the originating page's basename (in this case
attachment.cgi) because when <form>s do not have an action attribute, it
submits to the originating page.

However, this would probably break away from the implementation of IE and FF,
so perhaps just submitting to the full URL of the originating page is the best
way to do it.
