I think it's in Harry Potter and the Power of Paranoia that Harry does exactly that -- he picks a random Muggle as his secret keeper, does the whole ritual, and then obliviates him. The secret holds until the keeper gets himself hit by a car years later.
I was trying to get people to consider the implications on a 'how do these charms work' level. If I hide your house, tell you the Secret, and Obliviate the knowledge of where it is, can you find it again- that sort of thing.
