Coincidentally I stumbled upon an undocumented way to change the  
default behavior of the outline view.

To get it to close the group, after a drop, run this command in  
terminal:

     defaults write -g NSRequireAutoCollapseOutlineAfterDropsDefault - 
bool yes

This will change it system-wide. You can use  
‘com.macromates.textmate’ instead of -g, to make it only behave this  
way in TextMate.
