It’s not the water that has an expiration date, it is the plastic bottles.
"What, exactly, would begin to happen inside this bottle on Nov. 15, 2009?”
well, the standards for the cleanliness of these bottles is measured to a low degree, and so these expiration dates are there because the bottles and cans are acknowledged as being only clean to a degree, and so after this time, the bacteria, fungus and even algae that are already living in the bottles and cans when they were filled and sealed, could have grown to a dangerous or at least distasteful proportion. Of course that is a big if.... think of the expiration dates as security deposits for the companies in case some of these 'expired' bottles should become infectious. But still companies spend millions of dollars a year taking back expired cans and bottles as "out of code" stock, and there are rigorous fines imposed on companies or retailers who have 'out of code' products on the shelf.
