Some visitors don't only show up without a referrer, but they also lack info on which of my pages they visited. Is it a known "feature"?

Are you looking at the stats based on Title or URL?

It's the visitor statistics category, where the Host name/web page/referring link is presented. In these cases only an IP-address is visible: the web page is empty and referring link is "no referring link".
What also baffles me is that there are quite a lot of people from IP-ranges 10.0.x.x and 192.168.x.x - which is impossible,

When you look at Visitors, at the bottom of the page you have a checkbox: Display URL not Title . That option is probably not checked in your case and. Ceck it, use the Update button, and you will then see the actual URL of the page. You'll discover that that page has no title defined either.
As for those IP addresse that baffle you, have you tried the drill down next to them?
Anyway, both types of IP addresses (i.e. 10.0.x.x and 192.168.x.x) are internal IP addresses (http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/advanced/help/default.asp?url=/windows2000/en/advanced/help/sag_tcpip_und_arp.htm). Not to say they wouldn't be captured in a local implementation of a script that requests the IP address, such as Statcounter.

That didn't make any difference, actually. The web page info is still empty. It would be ok if it wasn't for the fact that the particular IP:s that behave this way, are having about 50 page views per day.

What other information can you glimpse from the drill down on one of those visits? Is javascript enabled? If not, this results in incomplete infrmation being logged, as some information is gathered by javascript.
If this refers to your blog that apears in your profile, perhaps it is a public blog and it gets visited often by search engines.
Are you publishing your blog from an institutional LAN?

Well it could well be some kind of robot, but the funny thing is that sometimes the information shows up. As well as using different browsers on different platforms, I'm starting to think it might be some kind of proxy.
How do I look up if a visitor had Javascript turned on? Can't seem to find it. Or is the lack of info simply the result of javascript turned off? :)
The visits skyrocketed as soon as an entry on my blog got posted on four different forums, so I'm just happy people find my blog :)

In Visitors, drill down next to that particular visit. You will see if javascript was enabled or not.
