John,
I, too, have seen rules 'catch' attachments. Due to encoding for attachments
and IMail applying the rule to the body, the atttachment might contain a
'string' that happens to match one of your rules. I think one of them I saw
was caught by the string 'X.vXbXs' (no X's! Just put them there so others
with rules will get this message!).
