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
