@Oggy: Interesting. I started a test too; this looks like something worth investigating deeper. I’ll update my post.

TinyURL does not pass juice even with a 301 redirect. See the lowdown on this blog: http://sharkseo.com/google/tinyurl-does-not-pass-value/

TinyURL doesn’t pass a follow to your site. No link juice.
