I notice that the number of retweets shown in "retweets_of_me" is inconsistent with the number of retweets a tweet received.
For example:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/179494229947596800.json
Shows
"retweet_count": 1,
Yet if I ask to see who retweeted it using
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/179494229947596800/retweeted_by.json
I get 3 people returned as having retweeted.
Another example, http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/show/179493385298649088.json shows 0 retweets. Yet the tweet shows up in "retweets_of_me" despite showing "retweet_count": 0,!
Can this bee looked into? Or can the documentation be updated to show that this is a problem?
