You were right, Alexander. The version 20100328 (and xdvipdfmx too)
had the problem.
I tried the following code with the recent version of dvipdfmx but
there were no error.

text
\special{pdf:fstream @obj1 (somefile.txt)}
\special{pdf:ann bbox 0 0 10 10 <<
  /Subtype /FileAttachment /FS <<
    /Type /Filespec /F (somefile.txt)
      /EF << /F @obj1 >> >>
  /Name /PushPin >>}
\bye

Let me know if I can give you any help for your package.

Thanks, ChoF.

P.S. Matthias, can you confirm my test?
