Same thing here today:
I've got a file that is encoded with UTF-8, but it has to be ISO-8859-1.
So I select "ISO-8859-1" from the encoding menue in the "Save As" dialog.
But when re-opening the file, it's still UTF-8. (Another text editor is
telling me the same thing.)
In Preferences -> Advanced -> Saving, I've set File Encoding to
"ISO-8859-1" and "Use for existing files as well" is NOT checked because
usually I don't want to change the file encoding but rather keep it the way
it is.

After converting the file using Cyclone [1], everything was fine but of
course I'd prefer to change the encoding in TextMate.
Did I do something wrong or is this a bug?

Kind regards,
Tobias
