I have a virtualized dev machine that is disconnected from the network. I want to add a local user (from the vm) to an attendee list. Can't do it because this user.. being local... does not have an email address. Any suggestions?

I just tested this by adding a local user account on my WFE. As long as your WFE isn't a domain controller you can add a local account by doing this:
WFEName\LocalUserAccount
That authenticates for me and there isn't an email for this user...

As you can see from the above screen shot, this does not work for me.– Mike TJul 21, 2010 at 22:06
Can't you do this in Central Administration? In the SSP you can edit personal information of a user, I think the e-mail address also. It's visible in the My Site settings.
PS: I can't see the screenshot, perhaps because I'm not logged in on Google Docs?
If you're on a standalone box you can always create a windows account for the dummy user, then add them to the site as Matt said (WFEName\LocalUserAccount). That should be pretty straight forward; you can add as many dummy users as you need. You must create a windows account for the user before you can add them with this method though.
Not sure if it's just me, but I can't see your screenshot.
