Christian,

The same error message is produced no matter if I use TexShop,  
TextMate, or I simply run pdflatex from the command line.  In fact  
both TexShop and TextMate use pdflatex behind the scenes.  The  
difference is in how TextMate,TexShop, and pdflatex present the error  
message to the user.

pdflatex gives you too much information to make it easy to find the  
errors and warnings  (You can see this by clicking on the log link in  
the Typeset & View window)

TextMate and TexShop both try to just give you the information that is  
most important.  However they use different methods for figuring out  
what is important to show you.  You have just uncovered a case that  
TextMate could handle better.  I'll have a solution in the next update  
to the Latex bundle.
