Actually, I think people will be just fine if their systems are
free/encrypted of 'interesting' content, and they didn't provably do
things via that Tor client at the same time and so on. Laws and
systems may be crazy, but if someone's good overall they'll win out.
It may just take some time and talking and educating the judicial types.
And certainly the CCC might give good tips and pointers to legal advisors.
As always, speak with counsel first, if available.
Be strong, be cool, no need to panic, life happens :)

And if you're a node operator, it wouldn't hurt to
consult with counsel beforehand. Most lawyers
offer a free initial consultation up to an hour. That way you
can shop around and know who you'd like to work
with IF something should happen in the future.

You could even put a sign on the node that says 'I'm the box you want,
take me'. Might save some ransacking of your datacenter :)
