It does. On the following sample stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="test">
test<xsl:attribute name="test">test</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Xalan 2.5.1 produces the following warning:
W Cannot add attribute test after child nodes or before an element is
produced. Attribute will be ignored.
Saxon 6.5.3 produces also a warning:
W Cannot write an attribute node when no element start tag is open
