[twitter-dev] verify_credentials not returning full user data for some users

[dean.j.robinson]

I noticed this because I've got some code that checks the utc_offset
and noticed that it was missing.

For my hahlo account verify_credentials is returning this (appears to
be missing colours, utc_offset, fav counts etc etc):

Is this connected to the recent change that adds the full user object
to all api calls?
