The only way I could reproduce this one is disabling TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY or TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET, check your settings please.

Take a look to Twitter section on README.

After much digging I tracking it down to a bug on the Twitter app registration page.

If you do not specify a Callback URL then Twitter changes the type of app from 'Browser' to 'Client' which then produced the result reported above.

I have reported this to Twitter, but it might be worth amending the readme in the meantime.
