No I am pretty sure Console does not erase the logs. You want the console.log files, not the system logs. Look in: /Library/Logs/ Console/501 or something similar. I have the following files there: console.log console.log.1 console.log.3 console.log.5 console.log.7 console.log.9 console.log.0 console.log.2 console.log.4 console.log.6 console.log.8
The numbered ones are the backups. So somewhere there would be your answer I would guess, if it is not in console.log.
Keep in mind, Console.app only shows you a part of console.log, the most recent part, so there is more info in the file. Also careful, these are big files, TextMate might not be entirely happy with them.
From console.log.0, here are the lines just before I quit TM:

I edited down the "string=" part. If it was supposed to contain the entire file I was working on, it failed. The file was much bigger when I quit.
Does this tell you anything?
