BBEdit's behavior predates the macOS intrinsic behavior by a couple of decades; 
there's an argument to be made that the upstarts got it wrong. :-)

That being said, there's an expert preference that can be set via Terminal 
command, which may do what you need:

   defaults write com.barebones.bbedit Editor_ModernWordMovement -bool YES

(This takes effect immediately; there is no need to restart the application.)

It's unsupported and there's no guarantee that it'll do what you want without 
side effects, but it might be worth trying anyway.

Someday I'll look back on all this and laugh... until they sedate me.
