Dharmesh, I believe this is related to the recent "big users everywhere" change. As soon as that change went into effect I started noticing this same problem. I'm not entirely sure why some properties (like statuses_count) simply disappeared, but the answer seems to be "it'll clear up by itself at some point".
See http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/msg/ca40afc5ee5094a9 and the rest of the thread associated with that message. dpc -- Damon P.
