File Attachments Changing the Audience

We encourage users to post events happening in the community to the community events group on https://www.drupal.org.

Courses are allowed to have pages. Pages allowed to have attachments. Course Pages' audiences are set to the Course and Public by default. When files are attached to Pages the Public setting turns to private. The file attachments upload fine and work fine for subscribers of the Course, but in this case that is only the teacher. Why would that one setting change and will I sleep tonight? Thank you.
