It seems to be missing the OS-signature field between Mozilla/5.0 and
Gecko/*
This is the closet one I have in one of my Sep 2010 logs (judging date by
"Gecko/20100914") :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.10)
Gecko/20100914 Firefox/3.6.10 (.NET CLR...

Sorry my stats prog cut off the ending.

If someone was crafting the string for some mischievous purpose, how
difficult it was to also copy the OS part from a real log? Unless you've
found this agent opening a really weird URI or doing some other devious
things, I would just disregard it.

It is not that mischievous, it is a bot that queries every twitter
post that my site makes.
