I agree. A silent failure seems like the wrong behavior.. It should return an error if the tweet has failed to post.
Also this change was made without any announcement that I recall seeing or can find now. This is a pretty significant change in behavior for existing clients.. We are failing to post because people are not getting an error and they believe it is our problem. Because the failure is silent we do not notify the user of the problem. We will update our code with a work around, but I would have expected some sort of announcement that this was going to happen.
