This might be related to a bug Dick Koch is investigating, and which  
manifests itself for files which have been opened and modified in  
other applications than TeXShop.

Three questions:

- When you do

	ls -l filename

is there an "@" at the end of the permissions. Then this would  
indicate the file has extended attributes (for example a CREATOR  
attribute with value TeXs, and a TYPE attribute with value TEXT, which  
is normal for a TeXShop file).

- What does the following return

	xattr - l filename

This will yield the value of the extended attributes. Most likely a  
com.apple.FinderInfo, followed by hexadecimal numbers and their ASCII  
equivalent.

- If you copy your file with a new name in the form

	cp -X filename newname

then you will a copy without the extended attributes, ready to be  
opened in TeXShop afterwards. Does the new file exhibit the same bug?
