With help from Brian and Min, this is now fixed with tests:

http://github.com/ipython/ipython/commit/98de6e4a75c254e50ea30635ad83185eca558365

Please note that the .tb attribute is still None, but that's OK:
that's how Twisted does things.  But your result objects now have
various .print*Traceback() methods that should print the *real*
tracebacks with various levels of detail.  Please let us know if this
does really solve your issue (I think it does).

Thanks for the report and patience!
