Apparently not:

 >>> from Foundation import *
 >>> from AppKit import *
 >>> cell = NSCell.alloc().init()
 >>> cell.image
<native-selector image of <NSCell: 0x372550>>
 >>> cell.image()
 >>> image = NSImage.alloc().init()
 >>> cell.setImage_(image)
 >>> cell.image
<native-selector image of <NSCell: 0x372550>>
 >>> cell.image()
NSImage 0x31d490 Size={0, 0} Reps=()
 >>>

So, I guess I needn't worry about the actual attribute version of 
'image' and I should use the second example above, and never worry 
about referencing the actual attribute. Ah, encapsulation :^)
