I'm making a major mode for json (which has no comments), and using SMIE for 'free' indenting.

I've currently got a half-baked grammar called json-grammar, and no rules-function.

Consequently, I'm invoking smie-setup as 

(smie-setup json-grammar (lambda (method arg) ()))

However, in a few places I'm calling smie-indent-line, and when I do, smie-indent-line eventually calls comment-normalize-vars

This function asks for a value comment syntax, and insists on having some value. Given that I want to use SMIE for indentation, how can I avoid this problem?

You'll probably want to use dummy comment settings. E.g. "#" for comment-start and "\\`.\\`" for comment-start-skip.
