You could try the TabMate plugin. It's not a proper fix, but it might be a 
viable work-around for you.  TabMate reads a special modeline (à la Emacs) 
from the first line of the file. This modeline can specify the file type, 
tab width, and hard or soft tabs on a file-by-file basis.  So, if you have 
different types of text files all ending in ".txt", you can use the 
modeline to specify "diff" or "Release Notes" or whatever.
