If so, mobile twitter, which twitter defaults to even in a mobile device's browser when one chooses not to use the app, doesn't appear to offer a work around for this issue that I'm aware of yet.

I'm about to try other browsers, and I'll let you know if I find one which one can emulate a none mobile environment. Until then, were reduced to moving to a non mobile device to embed tweets due to a flaw in the Twitter platform.
