I suspect this lazy updating of the summary data (follower counts) explains why people keep saying "I used Twitter Karma, and all of a sudden I lost hundreds of followers!"

The API removes suspended accounts lazily at read time which is why you may receive incomplete pages (less users than the count parameter specifies).
