Hmmm. My next app engine project _was_ going to be an app that relied on twitter. This doesn't sound good. As per your situation the app wouldn't hammer twitter, one request to the search API every 5-10 minutes or so.
Given its not exactly an app engine problem did you try contacting twitter to see if they could build more 'smarts' into their rate limiting? Would be really interested to see if you end up resolving this issue, thanks for the heads up. Sorry I can't help.
