In Firefox on Mac 10.5, I found that if I clicked on the URLs for attachments imported with file_import, I got a 404 - unless I right-clicked for "save as". This is not desirable behavior because most end users won't try a save-as if the initial download click didn't work.
The root problem is that the nid field was not being set in the upload table. Once I manually repaired this in the database table, the downloads worked as expected.
To patch file_import.module, I replaced lines 374-376 with the following:
...
db_query("INSERT INTO {upload} (fid, nid, vid, description, list) VALUES (%d, %d, %d, '%s', %d)",
$fid,
$nid,
$vid,
...This takes care of the problem on my installation. Since it is the first time I've been able to patch a module, I'm not sure what the proper procedure is for moving it along in the issue queue. Please let me know if I need to take further action.

I'm afraid that I don't know how to create a proper patch to submit, but here's a diff for these changes:
