I just tried it. If I have an HTML file open, and select the filename
and the extension in the document, BBEdit will open the file. If I
select only the filename portion of the filename, BBEdit will open
the file. If I select the filename and a portion of the extension,
BBEdit gives me an error message. That seems pretty straightforward,
to me.

If I am reading this correctly (and I am afraid that I am)
I'm afraid that you're not...:-)
then BBEdit
will only open the file if the extension is explicitly present in the
text of the selection.
surely it means that if I select the characters 'tempfile.t' of the
characters 'tempfile.tex', it will select 'tempfile.tex' then open
that.
If I select 'tempfile' it will search for 'tempfile'.
have you tried it? (I haven't)
(seems to me it could be clearer if the suffix wasn't a single
character).
