The warding is probably inverted, considering Taim can't see it. It's attuned to Demandred and if the flows are directed at him, the ward activates and kills the user. It could be similar to the ward Rand wove around Callandor, promising a nasty surprise to someone who tried to take it.
But then the question is, what does it mean that "the flows are directed at him"? Channeling in his general direction? That would be inconvenient if Taim was directing his flows towards somebody standing between him and Demandred. And how is the direction of channeling even determined? Many complex weaves consists of load of threads twisting around each other, pointing all over the place.
Fram kamerater!

I got the impression that "binding" allowed Demandred to take control of the Power being Channeled

As we have seen in many instances there is no fool proof way to accomplish something with the OP
