I think what is happening here is that at one point, you opened `folder` 
and then navigated to parent folder (in file browser) and closed the 
window.

The problem is that TextMate stores “state” for each folder, this 
includes file browser location.

So now when you open `folder` it restores the state, where file browser 
is actually pointing to a parent folder.

I realize in this situation, it will be confusing, and should improve 
this.

For now, try open your folder via `mate` and then select File Browser 
→ Project Folder (⇧⌘P). Does that bring you back to the expected 
folder?

If you close window and re-run `mate`, I think it should then behave as 
expected.
