I noticed this too. mobile.twitter.com used to show the comment box and counter, so I think they are now serving us a different page.

Does Twitter serve us the counter page if you change Fennec's User-Agent String using the Phony addon?

Yes, it does (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=687717#c21).

Writting new tweet on mobile.twitter.com is now working fine, the remaing no of letter decreses while you type. 
Marking bug resolved as WFM.
