I ran into the same problem trying to do this in Ruby last night using this technique: http://www.robares.com/2009/07/14/streaming-twitter-api.html
I think it's because /statuses/filter.json requires a POST, which isn't supported by yajl-ruby. So I'm stuck. It works fine if you use one of the other GET methods like /statuses/sample.json.
