You're correct; Twitter USED to let you save animated GIFs just like static ones.

next question: can you repost that .mp4 directly, or do you have to turn it back into a gif first?

I sometimes use http://ezgif.com/ Just put in the link to the Tweet and select your options, process the video and download onto your system. A little clumsy, but generally gets the job done.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
