Seth,

Unfortunately there isn't a particularly direct way of accomplishing this.
You could do:

   gdal_translate -of VRT your.tif work.vrt

Then manually edit work.vrt and remove the line(s) with the NoDataValue
tags.   Then convert back to geotiff.

   gdal_translate work.vrt fixed_your.tif

Best regards,
