Comment(by iwords):

 Some more feedback, as it doesn't seem that this point has been
 recognised: currently, it is impossible to attach an image to a post when
 using QuickPress on the Dashboard.  Since QuickPress doesn't appear to
 have an autosave feature like the full-blown editor, an ID isn't generated
 until the post is either saved or published - at which point the post's
 content is cleared from the QuickPress editor, so you can no longer attach
 an image to it anyway.

 Currently, the only way to attach an image to a post written in QuickPress
 is to save it as a draft, then re-edit it using the full editor, which
 somewhat defeats the object of using QuickPress.

 Just to clarify - yes, you can upload images and insert them into the
 *body* of the post.  But you can't upload images and have them stored as
 attachments using QuickPress at all.
