There is an easy workaround for this problem that doesn't require much recoding. It involves rerouting your updates to Twitter via Identi.ca.
Create equivalent accounts on Identi.ca. Change your scripts to update the status on your Identi.ca accounts (which is just a matter of replacing http://twitter.com/statuses/update.json by http://identi.ca/api/statuses/update.json and the "Twitter API" realm by "Identi.ca API"). Set your identi.ca accounts to auto update your twitter accounts.
