I bet it is simply a valve that is outside of the "freeze zone" that fills the ice maker; you are right that the water line would freeze if it has non-running water inside of the freezer.
Seems if you could add a valve to gravity drain it, it would be OK.
Have you contacted Whirlpool and ask how they recommend winterizing it?
