It appears that Hex Dump Front Document is treating the file as if it were a unicode document with double-byte characters. Perhaps all open documents are treated this way. The docs do say

"BBEdit internally represents all documents as Unicode, regardless of their on-disk 
encoding."

When I dump an open document, every other byte is 00

000000B0: 00 4D 00 6F 00 6E 00 2C 00 20 00 31 00 20 00 4D       .M.o.n.,. .1. .M

If I dump the same disk file, I see what I expect:

00000050: 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 4D 6F 6E 2C 20 31 20 4D               Mon, 1 M

Just something to be aware of, I guess
