Question: how much of this applies to a college grad getting his first job? His second? Basically, roughly how much work experience corresponds to how much bargaining power?

All of this applies to getting your first job or your second or whatever. The more offers you have, the more leverage you have, and the easier it is to show others that you are wanted.

It seems like there'd be enough just-out-of-college people for it to be easier to just say "nope, I'll take this guy who jumped at the chance instead."

But then, I'm told that the demand for programmers is much higher than supply...

If you are a talented programmer, you'll never hear "nope, I'll take this guy who jumped at the chance instead." They want both. Also, during negotiations, they won't tell you "you are negotiating too hard, we don't want you any more". They'll just say: "This is our final offer and we can't do better than that."
