Twitter breaks its tinyurl expansion functionality

Update: This issue is fixed now. Issue seems to be with bit.ly urls alone, though doesn't look like an issue on bit.ly's side as their API for expand is working fine.

Twitter has functionality on its search results page where users can click on expand for tinyurls to see the actual destination url. But that functionality is broken and its not functioning any longer.
Clicking on expand link will send an xmlhttp request which will be of the form

http://search.twitter.com/hugeurl?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4vdhsg, currently its not returning anything and so clicking on expand is showing nothing.
Will update this post once the issue gets resolved.
