Yes, unfortunately QC's OpenCL patch only includes cards which support images. 
This developer forum posting shows how one would find out if your card does 
support images through code:

After a brief search, I haven't been able to locate a list of capabilities that 
each card does support for the Mac, but there must exist such a list.

I honestly don't know whether that could be fixed in a software update, but 
it's always my job to ask folks to write up a bug whenever there is an issue :) 
I know the OpenCL team is very responsive.
