Save test.html as test.xhtml to have it served as application/xhtml+xml. I
cannot create an attachment that will be served like this, else you could just
click on both to see the difference in behaviour.

Sure you could; just set the content type in the attachment upload form....

In any case, this bug is invalid.  XML (and hence XHTML) is case-sensitive;
"onchange" and "onChange" are hence different attributes.  The former is an
event handler.  The latter is nothing in particular.
