your_target_to_add_image.manage_addImage('',image_file)
should do the trick, it causes zope to construct the id itself (see 
OFS/Image.py, the method is called CookId) from the filename.

Additionally, image_file.filename gives you the filename of the uploaded 
file, but you might have to strip off the leading path.
