The problem is simply that Launchpad treats each new comment as a boundary by which to split up notification emails (so if you make several changes to a bug and add a comment the changes and the comment will all arrive in the same notification, whereas if you comment first and then make the changes you'll get separate emails).

Now, from the difficulty-of-implementation point of view I think it's actually simpler (and more sensible) to support the multiple-attachments-per-comment use case via addAttachment() (and eventually via the UI) than it is to change the way Launchpad handles the notification boundaries. That said, we bundle up notifications for comments imported from remote bugs, though I can't remember off the top of my head how that works. It may be that we can re-use that.

I'm marking this as Triaged, Low on the basis that we should probably add the multiple upload functionality rather than fix this bug.
