How does Unity supply line # information to an external editor?

Normally, when double-clicking on an entry in the console, Unity will open your text editor to the corresponding line # (if it's supported, I suppose). This works fine in Textmate, but it seems to be broken in Textmate 2 – I've searched around, but I can't find any conclusive answer to how this information is passed. Does anybody know?

I saw that one; on Mac at least it definitely works in 4.0 and though I haven't double-checked I do remember it working in 3.5 and I'm pretty sure 3.4.

I'm specifically looking for the mechanism Unity uses to pass this information. I have a personal investment in the Mac side, but I'd be curious to know if it's the same for Windows or if it uses something else.
