I created my account, added my Twitter account as a crossposting account, then posted several entries of varying lengths. Every single one of them was posted to Twitter as expected. Super long subject lines along with super long prefix text and the text was shortened appropriately.
The only issues I had were UI related to which I suspect you're aware of these. The crosspost settings for other LJ-based sites still shows even through none of it applies to Twitter. It might be neat to preserve a footer setting in case someone wants to put a hashtag at the end of the tweet, like #writing (though this could be done in the prefix).
The UI of that "Other Sites" settings page needs a complete revamp, I think - but I'm not much of a front-end guy, and hence not really the person to do it.
My thinking has been to bodge Twitter in to make things work, and hope that somebody who is better at front-end will revisit at a later date, with help if they want! Ideally I think it should treat any account type equally - be that Twitter, LJ, or in the future Tumblr, Facebook, etc - and show the relevant options for the one that's selected.

+1, though at least disabling those fields to get Twitter working would be enough to indicate they don't apply before the page can be changed.
That'd be bug 3590 :-) (well, sort of. I'm not sure exactly what that bug intends)
Trouble with disabling the other fields is that a paid account may have a twitter account *and* a LJ account listed. You should be seeing a note saying that the options only apply to LJ-like accounts?

BTW this is AWESOME.

Maybe a separate bug for the UI?
