Hey- I've put together a pretty simple patch [1] that allows a map to be configured so that the lowest layer in the draw order is always treated as the base layer.
With this patch, if you configure your map with allOverlays: true and configure every layer with isBaseLayer: false, you can have a map with any number (including zero) of layers visible or invisible. The patch is marked for commit, and I'm happy to commit it. If anybody has any comments about *not* wanting this, please speak up.
