Isn't the problem bigger than a small number of people not paying attention to their Twitter client re-shortening links when it's not necessary? Aren't people intentionally re-shortening links they get from others, so that they can track their own reach/influence? If I have a big following and I re-shorten your link, I can then go to Bit.ly or (anywhere else I have an account) and exactly measure how that link was spread across the net, regardless of whether any RTs mention me. "I'll take your short link and raise you my own..."
