I think the Foundation is fine, not my favorite phrasing but the context that surrounds it makes it a lot cleaner. I do hate using @Wikimedia from @Wikimedia (and @Wikipedia from @Wikipedia) except for retweets of course.
The good news I actually think this is a moot point most of the time, it's been rare recently that I have had (or heard) a concern about the clarity of our tweets in this regard :). We're relatively good at working in "Wikimedia Foundation' or some other phrasing to get the point across without sacrificing the tweet.
