I can reproduce it reliably like this:
Start TextMate. Press Cmd-N to open a new document. Type something in the file. Press Cmd-Q to quit.
I am not prompted to save the untitled document. In preferences I have "Open documents from last session" selected.
I start TextMate again, and I am presented with the untitled document. So nothing is lost, but it does seem that I should be prompted to save.

I assure you there is no crash and no special "kill". We are quitting in good order. It's just that sometimes (rarely and under circumstances I can't readily reproduce) TextMate "forgets" to offer to save a modified untitled unsaved document. One can only hope that others will notice and report this and that eventually a way of reproducing may be discovered... m.

Ideally TextMate would clean it up, but I think if you select “Don’t
Save” during termination, TM will instantly quit before cleaning up potential backup files. There might also be a few other cases. I haven’t considered it a serious issue, instead it’s sort of a feature :)
[…] It just did it again. After using TextMate 2 for a while and then
closing everything was open, one by one, I did a New, typed in it, and did a Quit - and TextMate vanished off the screen without offering to save. (And yes, it's in the Session folder all right, saved as "untitled 15".)
Did you use ⌘Q? Could it be that you have that key overloaded to send
“kill” to TextMate?
Hmmm, you say "and furthermore not restore it after launch". But on my
machine TextMate 2 does not restore anything after launch, ever. This may be because I have unchecked "Open documents from last session." But I have done that because I expect to be offered a chance to save when I quit […]
With this disabled, it should warn about unsaved untitled documents and
does so here.
[…] There is no "restore after launch" behavior on my machine (with my
settings). And that's exactly how I want it - but only because I expect to be offered a chance to save _always_, not just most of the time.
It should be “always”. I don’t know what could cause it to not do it all
the time other than maybe a crash during exit? If you find a pattern then do let us know. To check if you did have a crash during exit, it should have added such info to Notification Center (unless you disabled submitting of crash reports).
