动名词具有名词属性,无论主动式还是被动式,都可以作主语。
但是,动名词表达“一个事件”,不是“一件东西”,也就是说:它指“一件事”,而不是“一个物品”。例如:
Getting up early is a good habit.
Being loved is a kind of happiness.
我们不能说:
Getting up early is a good note.
Being loved is a kind of tree.
分析句子,首先看句子意思;内容决定形式,句子意思决定句子结构。
网友的句子是说:系在礼品上的是一个“留言”。也就是说:“留言”是件东西,被系在礼品上。由于主语太长,这是一个倒装句,正常语序为:
A note (为了好理解,定语从句略去)was attatched to the gift.

你对句子结构的理解是错误的。
这是一个完全倒装句。主句为a note。因为主语带了一个很长的定语从句,为了避免句子头重脚轻,主语后移到句末,表语前置于句首。attached to the gift为过去分词短语作表语。
动名词being attached to the gift作主语表示一种行为或动作,和note并不是同一个概念,为逻辑错误。
