Um. Hand on a sec... on the bottom of the same page you link to:

  Twitter still maintains a database of all 
  the tweets sent by a user. However, to 
  ensure performance of the site, this 
  artificial limit is temporarily in place

So maybe you can't do it now - but its not lost (yet).

Hmmm. Long ago I sent examples of the "NULL" issues for Twitter status URL's that I had bookmarked (possibly before favorites were available) as replies to the Twitter team -- not sure where any of that went but while a database is likely to exist, a guaranteed and representative content store may not be as likely.
