Has anyone else tried to make dummy snap caps by loading a round with something inert like sugar or talc, crimped it well, and put Permatex Blue gasket sealer in the primer hole for "bounce?"

I just use empty brass, seat the bullet and use a piece of pencil eraser in place of the primer.

Ditto ^+1. Another good primer replacemet is rubber cement. When hardened it has plenty of bounce!

I have never done it or heard of it. The only dummy rounds i have heard of are once i set my dies i will seat a projectile in a case, then the next time i use those dies they can be easily be reset to the dummy round for a given projectile.

What would such a thing be used for?

You may want to dip the bullet into blue paint too. To make it look like an actual dummy round so you don't get mixed up.

Well, that would be $15.00 x 8 or 10 different guns vs. a nickle or so each.
