I am facing the same problem and have reported it earlier. The
behavior of
updating your profile image via web browser and via API differs
considerably.
I have noticed that it takes almost an hour for your newly uploaded
image
to appear as your avatar in your tweets page. In my case I don't see
the
earlier image either. My full name is displayed at the place of my
avatar.
