'test.txt' and 'test2.txt' are different somehow, 'test.txt' has '‚Ķ', and 'test2.txt' has '…'. xxd doesn't think there is a difference, but QuickLook and TextMate do.

Originally yes it did, further testing confirms this is the cause. Here are updated steps to reproduce the bug:
Create a file in something other than TextMate with any name
Enter any text
Save with 'Western (Mac OS Roman)' encoding
Open file with TextMate
Press 'alt+;' for ellipses
press 'cmd+s' to save
close file
open with TextMate, or anything that can open a text file
