Hi,
I just noticed today an unexpected save behaviour. Sometimes after I started editing a file, I realise that I should have named the file something else. No problem, I drop into my terminal and rename the file. Normally (even MS Word behaves like this), the program realises the name change and updates it's menu with the new file name. TM just saved the file again, with the old name and I got stuck with two files with the same content. That is the first time I've seen that happen.

It's because TextMate doesn't use aliases, it should though! Not having a Classic background and having had lots of problems with these when I first switched to OS X hasn't taught me to appreciate the usefulness of these (not having native Cocoa support for them doesn't help either).

Just as a side note in case you haven't tried this, you can rename files from within Textmate by right clicking on the file names in the drawer (if you have a project open). It's a nice feature.

Just to augment this, you can also option-click names in the project drawer to go into rename mode immediately.

On this note, would it be bad if files opened in a default project? I ask because
1. some commands are only available in projects, like rename, and templates;
2. I often open a document and then decide I want to start a project around it, so I have to open a new project, drag the old icon into the drawer and then close the original. Maybe there's a better way?

No, this is something I'd really like to do, but just hasn't gotten around to yet. That is, the project drawer will be more of a file browser, and a project is then just a snapshot of the state of this file browser (which will allow multiple sources etc.), and the single window will disappear (because the project window can act like it).
One of these days I probably should try to publish a roadmap, but I'm not sure how much accuracy people will expect from seeing a roadmap, and I'm not sure I'll bother to update it often enough ;)
