For what it's worth, this looked right until I hit reply.  About your
real problem, I don't know what the right answer is.  You need a way
for wrap to know that you want the date stamp to mark the beginning of
a paragraph.  The problem is that right now they can be used in the
middle of a paragraph and I believe some people (myself included) use
that.

I have a status log in each project where each entry starts with a
date stamp and I avoid this problem by making each entry a list item.
M-q handles indenting correctly then.

======================================================
* WORKING project foo
*** Status Log
     - [2008-01-01] I'm starting today.  The requirements are a little
       confusing but I know what I have to do.
     - [2008-01-02] Everything is going great.  My code works exactly
       how I planned.
     - [2008-01-03] My tests pass.  I'm done.  The universe is in
       harmony.
     - [2008-01-04] OMFG!  Dan is such a bonehead.  He doesn't get how
       things have to work!
     - [2008-01-05] OK.  I re-wrote some stuff.  It's ugly but it
       works.  Kinda.  I wish people would read the requirements!
========================================================

I don't know if this will work for you.  I was doing the status log as
a list from the beginning, so the date stamp wrapping was never a
problem for me.
