TextMate has /bin/bash hardcoded.

Many commands will break if another shell is used (csh, zsh, tcsh,  
ksh, etc.) so it is not a good idea if TM uses the users current shell.

But there are probably some exceptions, like the filter through  
command (which only macros could potentially rely on using bash) and  
of course it might be nice if TM would use the newest version on the  
system (if it is fully backwards compatible) -- not sure if it is  
worth investing time in solving this problem.
