Mmm... the fact that something as odd as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Dummy_edit even exists says something about the need for such a feature.

Am I missing something? I just tried making a null edit and it didn't change the edit summary.
It doesn't change the edit summary; it was suggested you make a null edit, but leave an edit summary for that null edit. This way you can make an edit that only serves the purpose of saying "Hey the previous edit had a wrong edit summary, this is what I really did."
A null edit doesn't save; you probably mean an inconsequential / trivial edit, instead?
