Thanks! As suggested, I turned off "Use Tab key to navigate Placeholders" 
setting and the expected behavior (inserting a tab character) is there now. 
In my case, this particular file is a ColdFusion script whereby my use of 
the <# ... #> combination has another purpose.

However, one thing that's puzzling is that it never happened before in all 
the years I've edited that document in TextWrangler, and it has the same 
setting. I didn't know what it was for, and since it didn't perform the 
same "navigate Placeholders" behavior, it has always been left "ON". 
Perhaps that feature never worked in TextWrangler.
