I've also been facing this issue for quite a long time. I've told
myself that this can't be a problem with the API (since nobody else is
complaining) but I can't see what is wrong on our end. For example, I
have the following status that was retweeted a few times:

http://twitter.com/#!/anilchawla/status/14437959797313536

This is the request URL that is generated when I request my mentions
using count=200, include_rts=true, and since_id = 13978625736970241
(OAuth tokens omitted):
https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/mentions.json?count=200&include_rts=1&since_id=1.397862573697E%2B16

The four mentions of the above status are not present in the response
even though those retweets and the original status have an ID greater
than since_id. Omitting "count" and "since_id" does not make a
difference. As a work-around, we have to pull both statuses/mentions
and statuses/retweets_of_me and merge them together. It's hard to
believe that everyone else has been doing the same and ignoring this
API parameter. Any idea what the issue is?
