I know this is super old, but I found it helpful, so I thought I'd post an update.

As an addition to Alan's answer above, I found that there are other scenarios than just the 'no_selection' .. maybe due to plugins, or general bugs in the system? The final nlike will actually find everything, but I left the others just for fun.

Change the collection query as follows:

$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')
    ->getCollection()
    ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
    ->addAttributeToFilter(array(
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image',
            'like' => 'no_selection'
        ),
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image', // null fields
            'null' => true
        ),
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image', // empty, but not null
            'eq' => ''
        ),
        array (
            'attribute' => 'image', // check for information that doesn't conform to Magento's formatting
            'nlike' => '%/%/%'
        ),
    ));
