This is in line with a long laundry list of horribleness about user experience as related to DMs in my opinion. They don't work as expected, and quite honestly to me it feels like Twitter is running a campaign to destroy peoples' love of the DM in search of a Solution, maybe in preparation for a dm 2.0 or something.

Some of the experience elements of DM have been fixed on the iPhone, but last I checked, the problems on web desktop made me so annoyed that I stopped using DMs altogether.

Taking into account this bug and twitter's response - they don't differ DMs from tweets much. Privateness of DM doesn't mean it to them what it means to us.
