Update: There are some Digests on Ahunts and cards that are playable on hazard creature attacks and then refer to the "creature's card" like Foes Shall Fall, Regiment of Black Crows, that should apply to related cards (Curses,etc).
They seem to mostly say that the Ahunt would be able to be placed/returned/etc despite not being a creature (against what I was thinking). Nothing definitive about the attack though, which is where the card language really starts to deviate from how Ahunts work.
Here's the relevant Digests that I found:

As stated on the card, the attack is considered a hazard creature attack.
The card is not considered a hazard creature, and is not played as a
hazard creature, but the attack is considered a hazard creature attack.
Easy enough.

The Ahunt stays with Foes Shall Fall until the conditions of FSF
are met.
Oh really? Even though it's the Ahunt is not a creature card? And well, how to determine the "creature's playability" for a long-event?

To be specific, a hazard creature attack is different from a creature
hazard card. Stealth prevents the play of cards.

Yes.
So, Ahunts aren't creature cards for Stealth but they are for Foes Shall Fall and Regiment of Black Crows?

Ok, we know Ahunts are long-events, and not hazard creatures, but they create hazard creature attacks. So they can still be played if Stealth is in effect, but then they count as a creature card for Foes Shall Fall and Regiment of Black Crows?
The Digests never addressed the issue of Ahunt attack playability for Foes Shall Fall, and didn't address Bring Our Curses Home at all. I think that the placement question is easy to gloss over. I wish someone specifically asked about the attack playability. Which is what this proposal is about.
As neat as I think it is to let these cards (Riddling Talk, Foes Shall Fall, Bring Our Curses Home, and Regiment of Black Crows) be played on a non-creature "hazard creature attack" (or any "attack" for Riddling Talk) to get some subset of effects, they probably weren't intended to be used this way and this "feature" should probably just be removed if anything, and not enhanced.
As for intent -- there is no specific antecedent for the term "
creature" in the text of these card to determine what the "
creature's card" is. But still, the only thing that "
the creature" could possibly be referencing is the previously written "
a hazard creature attack" presumably
of a hazard creature.
If Ahunt's were intended to be usable to attack, Bring Our Cureses Home and Foes Shall Fall would have been worded differently in several ways.
