After trying various things I've managed to change the state of open/closed folders.  Here is what I tried:

1. delete the .DS_Store files (in the directory being opened or it's parent or the children).  And close projects in TextMate and quit TextMate and restart.

2. Open the directories in Finder using List view; toggle the directories to open/close them.

I don't know which of these was actually effective.

There is also the Finder> View Menu > Show View Options dialog which has settings that might be relevant.

Finder and PathFinder also do the same 

Its a bit of a long-shot, but since nobody else has replied, I wonder if its something thats stored in .DS_Store metadata for that directory?
OSX dumps these everywhere, try deleting any in your project folder and see what happens

Thanks for the tip on option+click, that's helpful.

However, this problem is kind of driving me nuts.  I can't figure out how TextMate determines the state of the folders in the File Browser.  It now never seems to change regardless of any actions I do.  Yet it somehow decided to remember one particular (and somewhat unusual) state.

You can use option+click on the opened root folders' arrows to close them with all their inner levels.
