I looked at the code and have a few comments:

1. .xpm file extension is missing from the list of autoload cookies.

2. Perhaps image-mode should be minor mode for extensions like
   .xbm and .xpm which already have associated major mode c-mode
   in auto-mode-alist.

3. By default this mode should be enabled for non-ascii based
   image format files like .png, .jpg.  This could be achieved
   by enabling auto-compression-mode by default and turning
   image-mode off by default for ascii based formats.

4. Calling `image-toggle-display' sets the modification flag,
   so after visiting image files only for viewing buffers become
   modified.
