Currently, org gives items with no priority a default priority of B.
,----[ (info "(org) Priorities")
| By default, Org mode supports three priorities: `A', `B', and `C'. `A'
| is the highest priority. An entry without a cookie is treated just
| like priority `B'. Priorities make a difference only for sorting in

You can modify how the agenda sorts priorities with a custom function.
Here's a quick hack that seems to work:
(defun my-org-get-priority ()
(save-match-data
(if (not (string-match org-priority-regexp s))
-1000
(* 1000 (- org-lowest-priority
(string-to-char (match-string 2 s)))))))
(setq org-get-priority-function 'my-org-get-priority)
Best,
Matt
