My understanding is that all dir-locals classes need to apply to some
directory path.

Stefan's last comment made me wonder whether we could let-bind
`default-directory' to a bogus value that will never be a dir-locals
path.  How about the empty string?  This patch seems to work.  I
tested it with the same scenario before.

emacs -Q
(progn
  (dir-locals-set-class-variables
   'unwritable-directory
   '((nil . ((buffer-read-only . t)))))
  (dir-locals-set-directory-class default-directory 'unwritable-directory))
C-h t
