The configuration variable log.date is about "git log" and its documentation makes no promises how "git bisect" may or may not be affected. Having said that, I think it is not unreasonable for you to make it a feature request to add bisect.dateformat or whatever. The only interesting part from the output being the exact commit object name the problem bisects to, I personally would not see it a high priority feature request, though. Thanks.
