Comment(by arma):

 Bug not fixed.

 Check out git master (e.g. 8d588e7b1a4fccf), run Tor to fetch all your
 directory stuff, kill Tor, then run Tor pointing to a public relay as your
 bridge. It will fetch that relay's descriptor using router purpose bridge,
 and successfully store it (so the above patch worked to that extent).

 But then it will discover that it doesn't have any general-purpose
 descriptor for that relay, and it's listed in the consensus so clearly it
 should have one. So it fetches one, and then replaces the bridge-purpose
 descriptor with the general-purpose descriptor, and then Tor freaks out
 because none of its bridges are up anymore.
