Does the "Remove Unprintable Characters in Document" command take into consideration the character encoding of the file?
Commands always see the document as UTF-8 and work with that. The encoding of the file (on disk) has no influence on that, as TextMate convert from/to the encoding used on disk when loading and saving the file.
In a brief experiment with the supplied file I found that in some encodings the byte sequences was printed, but in others (UTF-8) the byte sequence was not printed.
A file has one encoding -- if you load it with the wrong encoding, the result is effectively a broken file.
