I'm curious what happens if you use the Inspector to modify the text.

It's a pack for hackers, after all. It's not a bug, it's a secret test of character!

I agree with this. I should have changed it to talk about my startup trying to get the startup pack, instead of a blatant form tweet for them.
Changing the content of the textarea with the inspector doesn't affect the final tweet text sadly. Just tested.
I'm not surprised, although I wonder if that's a violation of Twitter's API guidelines.
Keep in mind it's not actually a "tweet" box. The textarea is shown as a courtesy. You are authorizing their app to access your account.
