I've never seen this behavior either, and I use TextMate pretty much constantly. Forgive any dumb questions, I have my troubleshooting hat on...

• Are you saving files to the local disk, or a network share?

Both local disk and iPhone mounted disk

• If local, is anything else accessing the file? (ie., is it open in another editor at the same time?)

It may be open in Safari or the iPhone web browser - doesn't seem to matter which.

• If network, what's the filesystem and how is it mounted?

N/A

• Do you have atomic saves enabled?

I didn't even know about these - seems the answer is 'no'. I'll bet when I turn it on the problem goes away.

• Does this happen when you add lines to a file, or only when you delete lines?

Delete lines - file has to shrink.

• When you see the garbage, is it text from the same file or from a different file?

Same file

• If you save the file (but not close it in TextMate) then immediately 'cat' it from the command line, is the garbage there?

Sometimes

• What is the file's text encoding? Do you have any Unicode characters in there?

US-HTML so while I always choose UTF8 it is the ASCII subset.

• Do you have any TextMate plugins installed?

None.
