It's the dashes... ATM the bundle tries to find whatever word TM gives  
it, it ignores the selection.

As a test, add '-' to the list of "Word Characters" (TextMate/ 
Preferences, Text Editing tab). That should cause 'get-bottom-up- 
codelets' to be indicated as word, which the bundle should find.

It's just a perl script...

Sorry, I wish I had the cycles available to revamp that bundle. Just  
the other day I added support for ObjC, but it isn't working all that  
reliable yet (TextMate sometimes gives the entire file instead of the  
scope, don't know why).
