"It seems like twitter.com handles favoriting and retweeting well so there seems to be some discrepancy between what twitter.com uses and the API."
+1 Retweets_by_others (statuses/retweeted_to_me) includes the retweets by you and your friends. If you retweet a original status from Retweets_by_others (statuses/retweeted_to_me) shouldn't it be removed from statuses/retweeted_to_me ?. If it is added to "statuses/retweeted_by_me" then whats the point of retaining this in Retweets_by_others (statuses/retweeted_to_me). >From api you cant actually undo the retweets in statuses/retweeted_to_me.
