 want me to test it on Tor Browser Bundle or Vidalia Bundle with polipo?

 Hold on. We've just discovered that there is *also* an interaction with
 HTTPS-Everywhere for certain pipeline values. This one is going to be
 messy. Perhaps we should just leave you out of it.

 The safest option should be to continue using TBB, but to disable
 pipelining in about:config. There should be three values to set to false
 at the url 'about:config': network.http.pipelining,
 network.http.pipelining.ssl, and network.http.proxy.pipelining. Set those
 all to false, and TBB should work with twitter again.

 We recommend you leave HTTPS-Everywhere enabled.
