Sure you can, you can have a very clear look of the Show TODOs script  
in the bundle editor. The first thing I would try is comment out each  
of the lines in the $tags array, starting with the RADAR one, and  
seeing this way which one is the problem.

I don't really see how any of those could be a problem, but it's  
worth a try. You can also add some print statements along the way in  
the script.
Also, you can set TM_TODO_IGNORE to a regexp of filenames to ignore,  
which might allow you to narrow down the culprit, for instance  
filtering the scripts by the first character or something.
