Let me rephrase... Bind doesn't always mean a complete sudden stop like hitting bump stops. Hitting bump stop will certainly cause big snap oversteer, which as you is not what you are experiencing.
Bind means anything that is restricting the suspension from it's normal operation/movement. It can be an additional arm (eg traction rod) that is a slightly wrong length or set at the wrong angle and ends up fighting the movement of the leaf spring as they travel different arcs. Don't forget a cambered leaf spring's length changes as it moves up and down as well. Huge potential to get a traction rod setup wrong. It could also be a geometry issue. If the traction rod is creating some anti-squat geometry at that particular part of the suspensions travel, you'd get a reduction in available lateral grip. Or a sway bar fouling another component which increases it's spring rate, reducing grip. In those situations you get a much more gradual unloading of the tyre which I imagine could be consistent with what we see on the videos, rather than the big snap oversteer you seem to be expecting froma bind problem.
I'd love to see a pic of the suspension - I'm having a hard time imagining how that sway bar setup you described fits in there with a traction rod as well. It's much more likely to be either of those parts causing problems than shock absorbers.
