I'll answer my own question... It looks as if the "bind" builtin lives, along with the bindable functions, in emacs.c and that the command line editing in Vi-mode never ever calls these.
I'll conclude (for the time being, until someone says otherwise) that the "bind" builtin therefore is a no-op in Vi-mode.
