Comment (by dougal):

 Some more info on this...

 I found another class of Twitter URLs that display this behavior -- media
 links in tweets (e.g., photos or videos):
 ```https://www.twitter.com/{username}/status/{statusid}/photo/{num}```
 ```https://www.twitter.com/{username}/status/{statusid}/video/{num}```

 I ran across these when auto-cross-posting bookmarks from
 [http://pinboard.in | Pinboard] to my blog. Pinboard has a feature to
 automatically bookmark URLs from tweets that you mark as favorites. When
 it does this, it can extract these types of URLs that point directly to
 Twitter resources, but which the Twitter oEmbed provider does not
 recognize. Twitter apparently expects you to get the canonical provider
 URL from the original resource's head.

 I believe that @azaozz said that he had seen other services that extract
 URLs from tweets similarly.
