I think there is a bug when using radiosity with invisible objects.
Radiosity don't work when I use no_image in my objects!

Any suggestions how can I render my scene correctly?

What you mean in "don't work" ? The scene is not rendered at all ?

Have you seen in documentation: "When no_image is used, the object will not be
seen by the camera, either directly or through transparent/refractive objects.
However, it will still cast shadows, and show up in reflections (unless
no_reflection and/or no_shadow is used also)."

Did this sentence helped you ?

Scene will render but radiosity effects from invisible objects are missing.
If I don't use no_reflection then I assume that object is still there and
it can be seen indirectly from reflections. Like from mirror, photons or
diffuse interreflections.

No, that is an incorrect assumption and ABX quoted the section in the manual
that explains how it does work.
