Comment (by yawning):

 So. I have no idea what the behavior is supposed to be, since I
 implemented what the Tor Browser people wanted, that's off by default and
 possible to disable, in an attempt to fix the fact that they're
 distributing a forked tor with radically different circuit dirtyness
 behavior than every single other tor (unless otherwise patched).

 FWIW I think this being possible to disable/off by default is also kind of
 dumb, since it fragments behavior (even if Tor Browser isn't the only
 client usage of tor, it is by far the largest).  I'm going to ignore this
 patch entirely till some sort of consensus is reached between mike and
 nickm.
