There isn’t any inode caching per se, however, when opening a file, 
TextMate will check if you already have that file open, and this check 
does involve looking at inodes.

So a possible explanation for your issue _could_ be that your virtual 
file system reuses inodes, and that you open a file that uses an inode 
of something you previously opened (but which had a different path), and 
is still open somehow, e.g. in a background tab.

Perhaps you can ask the creators of the virtual file system that you are 
using, how they deal with inodes, i.e. if there is a high chance of 
inode re-use. If they say no, my theory is invalid, but if they say yes, 
then perhaps there is something to it.
