Zemian,
This problem has existed for a while, and as far as I can tell, the collective attitude to it is a bit of a shrug. I had this problem and brought it up with the mailing list back in late April in 2007. You can probably find it back in the archives.
Short answer: there's no real solution. Yes, whenever you "save as" a file (well, at least with HTML files, which is what I use TM for), the original file will disappear from the project drawer. There are a couple of work arounds:
1- Loose focus. That is, switch to any other application (cmd-tab), then switch back to TM. Your original file should reappear in the project drawer. However, that can be rather annoying.
2 - a couple of bundles that tweak procedures. I cobbled these together back in May 2007, and you may find them helpful. The first is a "save as a copy" bundle that works with cmd-d. The second adds a "rescan" function with the command "cmd-R".
I hope these help. I personally find the bug rather infuriating, but sadly have learned to live with it. The good news is that TM2 will apparently totally re-think the project drawer. However, as they say, TM2 should be treated like Duke Nukem Forever: believe it when you see it.

if you drag into drawer the entire folder you are working on, you'll not have problems.

Hi list,
When I opened a existing file, then do File>Save as, with a new file
name, and the original file will disappear from the Drawer! I can
verify the file is still in system, but the drawer is out of sync
until I reopen TextMate(or, I have to add "existing file" back into
the drawer manually).
Has anyone seen this? This is repeatable and getting very annoying...
please help.
