[twitter-dev] Error: 500 from "include_entities"

[Andrew]

Gentlefolk,

I use the new included_entities param in my timeline requests. Last
night, probably due to Twitter load problems, Twitter started
returning http error 500 from all requests. Removing included_entities
from the request, results in a normal, successful response. As Twitter
doesn't tell me the reason for the error (see attached error log),
this is suboptimal behavior. I would much prefer that Twitter just not
include the entities in the response than deny my access to the user's
home timeline.

Andrew

P.S. is there a better place to report this issue?

Here are error logs that show the request and response. The OAuth
secrets have been occluded.
