Based on Eric's hint, I followed org-translate-time's docstring (and
references therein) and I came up with this which seems to work (in the
sense that the dates look like <2014/02/03 Monday> when exported,
which agrees with the specified format):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+STARTUP: customtime

* foo
<2014-02-03 Mon>

# Local Variables:
# org-time-stamp-custom-formats: ("<%Y/%m/%d %A>" . "<%Y/%m/%d %A %H:%M>")
# End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, the angle brackets seem to be required.
