Hi there,
The cache issue is such that if any other user has requested
luomat (for example) and had notifications turned on you would see
true. If they had it turned off, you would see false. It is a cache
cross-population bug where every person looking at luomat sees the
following and notification values of the person who triggered the
cache population, not themselves. I'm not totally sure it's the cause
but it seems the most likely. I just cleared the cache for your two
example users, did that change things at all?
Thanks;

I don't think cacheing explains my bug. I have never had device
updates for these people; in fact I only just added a "device" this
afternoon and the default state is "false".

Hi there,
I believe both following and notifications are incorrectly
returned due
to the same cacheing bug
(http://code.google.com/p/twitter-api/issues/detail?id=157). I have
been
working on this off and on for quite some time and hope to get it
resolved
soon.
Thanks;

Following up: XML seems to be returning wrong information, JSON is
returning correct information:
for users 'luomat' and 'brookr' who I am following but not getting
updates

XML is returning 'true' for almost every follower.

ps - FWIW,
curl -s --netrc -d POST
'http://twitter.com/account/update_delivery_device.json?device=none'
is not changing my device settings either.
