I think so, as in, TextMate already has code to terminate the process 
group that it spawned, but a process can still escape being killed, and 
so it should be able to, because it might be a long-living daemon or 
similar.

It sounds like the flaw is really with how pdflatex handles its child 
processes.

Btw: It might be better to write the general TextMate mailing list 
(which have far more subscribers and the LaTeX bundle maintainer as one 
of them): http://lists.macromates.com/listinfo/textmate

This list is likely soon to be decommissioned.
