IMHO, using empty alt attributes to mark decorative images is a good approach, because that's exactly what DAISY recommends for decorative images.

I'd recommend the following approach for images without alt attributes:
  • exclude them from the loi, but also add the image information to an error log
  • add an alt="" attribute
  • optional: add a role="presentation" attribute, but only in epub3 books
  • display an error log listing all images without alt attributes
