This is a follow up to an existing thread (which I am unable to reply to): http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_thread/thread/5a287ab379497e97/321508b2463573d7?lnk=gst&q=block#321508b2463573d7
Our application is experiencing the exact same problem. The block API call often works but will consistently fail when trying to block certain accounts. For example, one of our users reported the error when trying to block @divadmarketing. I was able to recreate when trying to block this same user from my own account (no offense to the person who owns this account). Perhaps you will be able to recreate against this account too? As Thomas mentioned in the existing thread, the response is always a full page of HTML containing text that "Twitter is currently over capacity". This is not an accurate message because we can recreate every single time we try and it only happens with specific users.
