Hi David,
You've uncovered a problem with org-plot. I'm attaching a small patch[1]
which will fix this issue. Once that patch is applied you can plot
dates with the following org-plot options.
#+PLOT: timeind:1 timefmt:"%Y-%m-%d"
| Date | Weight |
|------------+--------|
| 2008-09-26 | 266 |
| 2008-10-08 | 261 |
| 2008-10-16 | 263 |
| 2008-10-19 | 259 |
| 2009-05-20 | 272 |
| 2009-06-12 | 274 |
| 2009-06-23 | 275 |
Thanks for catching this bug.

I believe org-mode does support referencing cells in other tables (if
the other table is named), however I don't know of a way to reference
multiple tables. Maybe if you could package the totals into properties
of headlines then you could use something like column view, or
org-collector[2].
