There was a bug that was addressed and recently fixed for a similar
issue in users/show

http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=162

You might want to file a similar bug for user_timeline, though I'm not
sure if the new parameters for users/show will already work for
user_timeline... you might want to try it first.
