Ah, this makes sense. I committed a fix: https://github.com/textmate/rmate/commit/0bf8a92286880de61800961724b0ec5f0d5c2c40

Just to be sure, rmate did properly cleanup the backup files for you, right? I.e. that you already had path~ was from some other app.

Yes, the already existing path~ was coming from another text editor and yes too it isn't wipe.
The only cleanup file is the path~~ in that case
