So I have the question again: Bug or feature? Localising problem? And: Do you prefer bug reports in garage?
this is fine as a bug report. it seems twitter is frustratingly inconsistent in the timestamps it reports back, so the parsing is breaking due to some wrong assumptions. I *thought* it always gave UTC timestamps with a certain format. apprently for you it is a) giving an offset (which the python time parsing routine doesn't support)
b) it doesn't have a comma after the day, but it does for me.

back to the drawing board....

Check out Witter, a twitter client for N900
http://danielwould.wordpress.com/witter

If Witter isn't working for you, eg crashes/doesn't start, gives errors etc etc. Please run it from x-term using:
run-standalone.sh python2.5 /opt/witter/witter.py

This will generate diagnostic output. Without this I cannot help you.
