hmm... seems TM_BUNDLE_PATH is missing for snippets, I'll fix that.

Not sure what the best key binding is though, but I do see that they 
currently clash.

No -- the TM_-stuff should be unnoticed for “normal” users. And BibDesk 
does work for me with b8.

It can't really strip the comment after the selection, but it could 
change the inserted text, depending on the presence of bracket. But 
maybe it should just always strip the comment.

The option is just go change the command! :)

Currently it does (to process the res from BibDesk):
    res=`perl -pe <<<$res 's/^(.*?)(\s*)%/$1}$2%/'`

You could change it e.g. to:
    res=`awk <<<$res '{ printf("%s", $1) }'`
