I believe that this is because the selection code just splits characters 
into two classes, word characters and non-word characters, and it just 
grabs full runs to the left and right of whatever class of character is 
currently under the cursor.  If you want to fix the sigil selection 
behavior, pull up the TextMate preferences, and add $,@, etc to the Word 
Characters list in the Text Editing tab.
