Presently TextMate will wait for most threads to finish before it (fully) terminates, and it sounds like you have a thread still running doing syntax highlight.
This can be verified by looking at the spin report, see http://kb.textmate.org/writing_bug_reports#crashes-or-hangs
This behavior may change as part of some unscheduled refactoring, but for now this is just how things work.
