I find this to be a feature, rather than a bug. I like to keep two (or 
more) projects open at once, and have one with a drawer to the right, 
and another with drawer to the left. This guarantees that the corner of 
the other project window will always be showing, which sometimes is 
useful for toggling between windows (it would be nice to be able to use 
command-`), and as a visual reminder of what I'm working on. So at most 
I think we might ask for a pref to control which sides the drawer can 
appear on. Personally, I'll be a lot more excited when there's a pref to 
turn off the automatic rescanning of files in a project (especially when 
they're on a network vol), as the lag when switching between Textmate 
and other apps is very annoying.
