This is also broken when a tweet includes an ampersand (&).

Rather than remove the tweet entirely, only the text before the & is displayed:
Original tweet:
lisslar: wonderful call from mom! talked about <censored>, pocahontas, & some
heartwarming story? bruno? a TV Kid? no, i said TV * rt

Rt:
rt @lisslar: wonderful call from mom! talked about <censored>, pocahontas,

This bug might be fixed in SVN already, but I will check it again.
