I exited Russia on Saturday. While at the border, I asked the customs guy about the TIP. He confirmed that it is one year at the border, nationality and visa type do not matter. And as in the past, it can be renewed by leaving Russia for a day (or an hour) and coming back in.
All-in-all, this is a great development for moto travellers--now all you need to do is find a place to store your bike for the winter!
