We have started work on Ruby 1.9 support in TextMate, but, as you can  
see, we are not finished yet.

The jcode library helps us do character handling in Ruby 1.8, but Ruby  
1.9 replaced that with a complex encoding system.  I've spent the last  
two weeks working on getting up to speed on that system so I can  
improve our support.  I've ran into several issue though and  
everything is not perfectly clear.

I really hope to have solid 1.9 support before the 1.9 branch sees a  
stable release.  But the fact is that, at this point, it's a test  
release and we just don't fully support it yet.

I hope that helps to explain things.
