Just now, out of the blue, Twhirl started displaying tweets as if they were coming from anonymous users. Neither Twitteriffic nor the Twitter web view share this issue.

When I try to direct messsage or @ reply one of these users, the message box shows "@ " or "d ". When I view any of their tweets through the browser, I get the following:
http://skitch.com/jayallen/ehn9/viewi... . Notice the double slash in the URL. If I click on "Mysteriously Unnamed", it goes back to my Twitter home page.
I can't think of anything I've done or was doing at the time to cause this. I installed Twirl about two weeks ago, have not updated it or any part of my system for more than a week and have never seen this problem before now.
I also corroborated the issue with another Twhirl user who says that they started seeing the problem right around the exact same time (I twittered it and they are a follower).
