The way the "Edit Configuration File" command works is that, the  
first time it runs, it copies whatever the contents of latex.config  
were at the time to the file called  
"com.macromates.textmate.latex_config.plist" under the Library/ 
Preferences folder. In subsequent calls, it merges the above file  
with the version of latex.config in the bundle, giving preference to  
the com.macromates file. So editing the config file theoretically  
should not block updates to the bundle's latex.config. But the new  
environments won't show up in the "Edit Configuration File" command.

So I am not sure why it didn't work, your situation seems to be the  
same as mine. The changes should work without you even having to  
reload bundles. How did you try them? For me, pressing "oa" followed  
by ctrl-shift-{, produces an overlayarea environment. Similarly for  
"op". Is this not the case for you?
