Ah yes -- I didn't realize it was a sub-string search. What you could 
do is start the command like this:

if [[ -z $TM_SELECTED_TEXT ]]
    then phrase=$TM_CURRENT_WORD
    else phrase=$TM_SELECTED_TEXT
fi

and then search for "$phrase", which will be current word when there is 
no selection. You'd need a similar 'if' construct when returning the 
result, so to cut the prefix when doing current word search.

I was indeed a bit puzzled by what it returned :)

Okay, here's my take on it:

    osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to activate' &>/dev/null &
    awk <<<$res '{print $1}' | tr -d \\n

Or if you want to keep the comment but insert a bracket:
    perl <<<$res -pe 's/^(\w+)/$1}/'

So the entire command (with the condition on selection) becomes:
----------8<----------
if [[ -z $TM_SELECTED_TEXT ]]
    then phrase=$TM_CURRENT_WORD
    else phrase=$TM_SELECTED_TEXT
fi

res=`osascript <<EOF
	tell application "Bibdesk" to set candidates to search for "$phrase" 
with for completion
	tell application "System Events"
		activate
		choose from list candidates
	end tell
EOF`
osascript -e 'tell app "TextMate" to activate' &>/dev/null &

res=`perl <<<$res -pe 's/^(\w+)/$1}/'`
if [[ -z $TM_SELECTED_TEXT ]]
    then echo -n ${res:${#TM_CURRENT_WORD}}
    else echo -n $res
fi
