Yes, it doesn't make a difference.

I thought about that, and it certainly makes better sense, but my  
bundle doesn't show up in that directory, on either machine.  I don't  
understand why.  The bundle appears in the Bundle Editor, along with  
the standard bundles.  It shows up in ~/Library/Application\ Support/ 
TextMate/Pristine\ Copy/Bundle, but I'm fairly sure that's an old copy  
- the modification date isn't "today", and when I look inside the  
Syntaxes/<bundlename>.tmLanguage file, it doesn't show the changes  
that I made today.

I don't know where TextMate is storing the bundle, yet I can modify it  
and use it in TextMate.
