Here we go, and this one ought to be a little more portable. I guess
I'll do it as a proper patch in a bit.

(defun org-attach-clean-dirs (&optional attach-dir clean-archived)
  (interactive)
  (let ((attach-dir
	 (if attach-dir
	     (file-name-as-directory attach-dir)
	   (concat (file-name-as-directory org-directory)
		   org-attach-directory)))
	(valid-dir-re "\\`[0-9a-z-]+\\'")
	(org-id-search-archives (if clean-archived nil org-id-search-archives)))
    (dolist (d (directory-files attach-dir nil valid-dir-re))
      (dolist (d+ (directory-files
		   (concat attach-dir d) nil valid-dir-re))
	(let ((id (format "%s%s" d d+))
	      (full-path (concat
			  attach-dir
			  (file-name-as-directory d)
			  d+)))
	  (unless (org-id-find id)
	    (delete-directory full-path t)))))))
