Hmm, looks like the error reporting is a bit lacking. If you have your 
own build of Qt you can uncomment the line that says #define 
QGL_BIND_TEXTURE_DEBUG in qgl.cpp to get more detailed debug output from 
the bind function.

Yeah, glGetError() won't return an error since it clears the error state 
when it's called from within bindTexture().

Btw, which OS and Qt version are you using?
