The FAQ/Errata doesn't specify that cards with the Attachment subtype are also automatically support cards. So, whereas Expendable Muscle clearly defines it as a "Attachment support card," I'm left to assume that Tear Gas is NOT a support card even though it's an Attachment. This matters for support removal, but also for Wandering Tinker, who can only salvage support cards.

Similarly, Mnomquah's Serpent doesn't count as a support card either, as it is only a "Curse attachment" (lower case "a").

Has anyone found anything to the contrary? I read the Attachment section of the FAQ, but I found nothing about this.

Yes, my reading is consistent with yours. I had noticed this wrinkle before.

(1.15) Attaching Cards through Card Effects
When a card becomes attached to  another card due to a card effect, that card is now considered a support card (regardless of its normal type) with the Attachment subtype.

 

 

It counts as a support card. You can found it at pag 12 in the faq
