I agree with Stefan here.  Generally use "set" for assignment 
(regardless of whether the symbol has already been bound in any
way).  Use "bind" for a `let' binding.

It's true that we also speak of a symbol being unbound or bound
depending on whether its value cell is void.  But most of the
uses of "bound" and "bind" for symbols in Emacs have to do with
`let' bindings.

However, if it is important in this particular context to make
clear that "disable-point-adjustment needs to be setq'd by the
command rather than let-bound" then I'd say that, to remove any
ambiguity.
