Hello, I understand the problem now. However, how come TextMate can detect what encoding was used for a file, and the scanner can not ?
UTF8 can cause problems with Bibtex (http://www.unix-ag.uni-kl.de/~fischer/kbibtex/encoding.html )

which has a better explanation of the problem(s) of using multibyte encodings with BibTeX. Sorting is broken, of course, but apparently some BibTeX styles have even worse problems.

The problem is that your source documents are scanned for completion candidates in their on-disk state.
The scanner cannot know what encoding you have used, and so it assumes (for good reason) UTF-8.
But in fact the stuff is malformed, when treated as UTF-8, so TM will discard it, when the label completion command tries to insert it.
I haven't been following this too closely, but ISTR that cross- reference labels, like TeX command names, are limited to ASCII letters and digits 0-9. You might get away with accented characters using some encodings, but it would probably break horribly with UTF-8.
