Issue #553: Bursty spurious 401s on some REST & Streaming methods for some app/user combinations

Some developers are reporting that specific access tokens under their control begin throwing spurious 401 errors on certain methods (like statuses/home_timeline, user streams, statuses/user_timeline) while functioning as expected on other methods like account/verfiy_credentials.
