Using HTML5 and the Site.Manifest file, is it at all possible to create a web app that can be added to the iPhone/iPad home screen but have no requirement for an internet connection afterward?

A: 

yes using cache.manifest. Put all files which should be available offline in the cache.manifest.

See also Apple docs at: http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/iphone/conceptual/safarijsdatabaseguide/OfflineApplicationCache/OfflineApplicationCache.html

As indicated in my question, I do already have a .manifest file but the web app still checks for remote access before complaining it cannot access the server.
