-to: not working is indeed a bug. I'm working on a fix right now. As for the searching for replies, that seems like a good feature to add. Until recently the reply_to_id was wrong too often, but with some recent API additions that should no longer be the case. Please file an issue at http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues and I'll see if we can get it into a future release.
