It is broken in a way, the behavior you describe is still how it  
works I think. What I do is to include the CSS via <style> tags in  
the HTML while testing this way, or to be previewing the file in a  
browser instead. (TM does this a bit easier via a command bound to  
cmd-R)

You might want to file a report here if there isn't one already:
