Well, I think I can make joinable() report whatever is required in order to satisfy the spec, however pointless that might be in the context of the new behavior. (This is a good example how unnecessary accessors restrict implementation freedom.)
... and you could still cancel and join the thread.
It seems to me that no conforming N2184 program should be able to see that one can still cancel or join after detach, because the specification doesn't allow it to do so.
