Here is a hack which seems to work. It defines a macro \MyOnSlide to be
used with an explicit slide number (no range, no `+-' etc.):

\makeatletter%
  \let\myslideinframe\beamer at slideinframe%
\makeatother%
\newcommand{\MyOnSlide}[2]{%
  \ifnum\myslideinframe=#1%
    #2%
  \else%
    \phantom{#2}%
  \fi%
}

...

\MyOnSlide{2}{\attachfile ...} %attach file on 2nd slide
