I checked my pure mage (does no damage with anything but spells, including bound weapons) and he, too, cannot cast his bound sword. I verified the game cache, resaved and restarted the game to make sure, and yup...that spell is now an instant CTD. Happens on both new and old savegames, so it's NOT a corrupted savegame unless all 10 of them are corrupt in exactly the same way, which is extremely unlikely.
It would appear that Bethesda has changed something in that particular spell that broke it. Bound Bow, by the way, works fine from all 10 savegames.
