Ideally TextMate would clean it up, but I think if you select “Don’t 
Save” during termination, TM will instantly quit before cleaning up 
potential backup files. There might also be a few other cases. I 
haven’t considered it a serious issue, instead it’s sort of a 
feature :)

Did you use ⌘Q? Could it be that you have that key overloaded to send 
“kill” to TextMate?

With this disabled, it should warn about unsaved untitled documents and 
does so here.

It should be “always”. I don’t know what could cause it to not do 
it all the time other than maybe a crash during exit? If you find a 
pattern then do let us know. To check if you did have a crash during 
exit, it should have added such info to Notification Center (unless you 
disabled submitting of crash reports).
