Ah, that's because a PWA installed from mobile.twitter.com/ will only capture links to mobile.twitter.com/*. You would need to install the PWA from twitter.com for link capturing to work. We added a note to the doc to point this out.

Sadly, twitter.com is not a proper PWA. It does have a manifest with some fields though, so if you install it and change the app to open in a window, you will get link capturing but no hi-res icon or themed window bar.
