I'm also noticing this bug...looks like twitter just blindly appends ?
oauth_token=xyz to the oauth_callback URL without first checking
whether the oauth_callback URL itself already contains a query string.
I checked on http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/list but I
don't see an open issue yet--should I open one, or is Matt or someone
else already doing it?

Thanks! :) js
