To rephrase; reset vs checkout doesn't make any difference here.

It seems to simply be the case, that as long as there are no changes to 
the file contents themselves between the relevant git commits, and the 
file isn't flagged as dirty in the stat cache of the local workdir, git 
never revisits the .gitattributes for this particular file.
