Peter,
I would simply describe it as you did, then add Gunnar's and Jon's comments:
Attic Insulation:

Pretty much describes it, advises it is likely not of much use, and warns as to what *it might* contain.
The only other thing I would add is "Potentially a fire hazard." When talking with your client, if you tested it to see if it ignites, you could say 'Makes good kindling for starting fires. I tested some outside, want to see it go up in flames?'
Did you try to ignite some (not in the attic, of course, but outside)?
