Thanks for the help. Unfortunately it still doesn't work. Using the 
following minimal.el and test files:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;; activate debugging
(setq debug-on-error t)
(setq debug-on-quit t)

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/src/lisp")
(require 'org)

;; The following lines are always needed.  Choose your own keys.
 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
 (global-set-key "\C-cl" 'org-store-link)
 (global-set-key "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)
 (global-set-key "\C-cb" 'org-iswitchb)

(setq org-export-allow-bind-keywords t)
(setq org-display-custom-times t)
(setq org-html-metadata-timestamp-format "%a %d %B %Y")
(setq org-time-stamp-custom-formats  "%a %d %B %Y")

#+end_src

#+begin_src
#+BIND: org-display-custom-times t

The date: [2014-12-01 Mon]

#+end_src

I see the message in the mini buffer "Timestamps are overlaid with 
custom format", but the format is unchanged. I have tried both with and 
without the #+bind directive.
