It seems that retweeted_by_me needs authentication though, while user_timeline does not. Retweets are thus not available anonymously? I ran into this too.

Depending on the circumstances, you likely have to implement some kind of caching to avoid Twitter's rate limiting, so merging retweeted_by_me or even making multiple calls with an increasing count parameter isn't all that bad of a solution.
