Is this the same underlying issue that could be causing the button to not show the a tweet count for some URLs with query strings?
For instance, we're passing: a URL (http://www.foo.com/bar.cgi? f=1/2/3456.stuff) encoded as http%3A%2F%2Fwww.foo.com%2Fbar.cgi%3Ff %3D1%2F2%2F3456.stuff in a query string for the button.. I see a response in firebug of twttr.receiveCount({"count": 0,"url":"http:\/\/www.foo.com\/bar.cgi\/?f=1%2F2%2F3456.stuff"}) . I'm not sure how those other characters are coming in. If this is the same issue, is there word of a fix?
