There's an "hack". You can download my TMTOOLS plug-in here:
http://email.eva.mpg.de/~bibiko/downloads/textmate/

double-click on it to install it.

Then save the attached tmcommand "Complete" which is bound to F5, and double-click at it to install.

The tmcommand:
Input: none
Output: discard
Command:
"$TMTOOLS" complete usingDictionary '{lang="`"$TMTOOLS" get currentSpellCheckerLanguage`";showInternalListFirst=yes;}'

Set TM's spelling language to whatever language eg. French.
Then type in a doc eg "Étu" and press F5 for Complete (maybe you have to rebind the "Sort" commands) and type further "dien" and press RETURN and enjoy.

You can also write "Étu", press F5 for Complete, press BACKSPACE and type further ie to complete to "Étienne".

The command cannot auto-detect the spelling language. It takes that language set in the spelling pane.
It also cannot toogle upper/lower case letters of that word part typed before you invoked Complete.

In other words it can do 98% of the Cocoa completion BUT it can something which Cocoa does not can do, press BACKSPACE :)
