Nikki added a comment. The behaviour here has changed. Until recently I would get an error if I didn't select a valid file (although it seems from this older ticket that there was a way to get around the check). Now there appears to be no check at all and I'm able to save whatever I want as the value, e.g. https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q4115189&diff=253493005&oldid=253457577
While I did used to see people edit image statements to non-existent files from time to time, since a few days ago I've seen a lot more (i.e. multiple times a day) and it's usually people adding statements with external URLs (like I did in the link above), which is not something I used to see at all.
