Even without attribution the author still has the right to claim authorship of the work. That's just normal.

Does 6bis say anything about attribution at all?


Having attribution as a default requirement reminds people of an obligation they have under law. If attribution would be removed from the license it would have no legal effect at all, you would still be required to provide attribution (see The Berne Convention, Article 6bis: http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/berne/trtdocs_wo001.html#P123_20726).
