The short answer: No. I cannot reproduce this bug.

The long answer: It is very hard to reproduce this bug. I do not know
the exact criteria gwibber uses to fetch messages, but it does not fetch
messages older than a certain number of days. Once the tweet, that
probably caused this malfunction, was older than this threshold gwibber
started working normally for me and I could not reproduce this bug with
the same version of gwibber. There is no way for me to tell if any later
version of gwibber would behave the same way when encountering the tweet
in question. I have never encounterd the same malfunction again with
another tweet.

The only way I can think of to reproduce this bug is to use a mock-up of
the twitter api and recreate the tweet mentioned in the log file I
posted. I do not have the knowledge to do this. I do not know if the
twitter api has changed since then so this would be impossible. I do not
know if the parts of the gwibber code that could be responsible have
been rewritten by now so this would be irrelevant.

Conclusion: This bug seems to affect only very few people and occurs
very rarely. When it occurs gwibber stops working completely for a
number of days. It may be gone in a current version of gwibber and it is
propably not worth the effort to investigate any further. If you want to
close this ticket I have no objection.
