Commands always see the document as UTF-8 and work with that. The  
encoding of the file (on disk) has no influence on that, as TextMate  
convert from/to the encoding used on disk when loading and saving the  
file.

A file has one encoding -- if you load it with the wrong encoding,  
the result is effectively a broken file.
