I know that it is basically possible to clean this list by rebuilding some LaunchServices files, but I also read that all previous application assignments for file types would be lost afterwards -- that is why I first want to ask if anybody experiences similar behavior, and whether this might be related to the upgrade process within TextMate (I'm usually updating from the preferences dialog) and thus be likely to reoccur even after I have cleaned the LaunchServices.

I see the same thing and would also like to know if something can be done without trashing the entire LaunchServices database. I don't want to have to re-approve every single downloaded application.
