My understanding is that retweets are filtered after timeline is built. So it selects two statuses to return then filters the retweets and ends up with an empty result set. Currently if you are not getting enough results you can increase the number and discard extra statuses or make extra calls. I would imagine Twitter will stop filtering retweets when version two of the API is released.
