Thanks for your good-humored analysis of the issue. This is a new
feature we haven't documented or announced yet, and causes a conflict
we should have obviously thought more deeply about in advance.
Here's a work around to access the same end point you know and love
for lists named "all":
https://api.twitter.com/1/STLT_Business/lists/show.xml?list_id=all
(which would work for twitter/team also).
https://api.twitter.com/1/twitter/lists/show.xml?list_id=team
More about this mysterious lists/all later. Let me know if this
alternate access point doesn't provide the output you are expecting.
