I tried to disable it, failed, tweeted for help, and was contacted by the incredible Brad Choate (who wrote the Text::Textile module!). I did that, and it all worked, but I was unhappy with the that default Textile litters all over. In response, the mighty Arlen Walker told me how to install Xcode, the Text::Textile module, and a short Perl script to drop into ~/Library/Application Support/BBEdit/Unix Support/Unix Filters.
