I don't think I was clear enough - $HOME is set up correctly already when I check in both shells (tsh is the one I normally use, but I think TM used bash when running shell commands).
HOME is not setup by bash but inherited from the parent process.
Try type env⌃R in TextMate and see if you have HOME, USER, and LOGNAME set.
You could likely quit TextMate and start it from your terminal (where you have HOME) calling TextMate.app/Contents/MacOS/TextMate directly (i.e. not using ‘open’, as then it would be launch services/the WindowServer process which starts it, and it then inherits the environment from that process, which is likely the process that somehow managed to un-associate itself with USER etc.).
