I've been trying a few things to get this to work, but to no avail. Is there any way to collect data in ArcGIS Mobile that isn't associated with a spatial location, similar to how you'd use a table in ArcGIS Desktop? We're looking for a way to collect field data that doesn't require constantly entering the location of the points, since the locations will be keyed to a master station. I've tried adding a table to my mobile cache/mobile project, but it doesn't show up in the Create Mobile Cache tool.

Failing this, is there any way to set a default *location* for a point, so that we could have all the points be collected at one known 'dummy' location?

You could create an empty point featureclass and when you edit the data you could add 0,0 to the coordinates of the geometry.  That way it will sync that feature class as well.

AlBowe is correct, his idea will give you the result you are looking for.
The mobilecache cannot contain regular tables, it is not supported yet.
