 it failed, so it's unlikely to succeed again so soon after:

 I have observed this in the past when testing (ORport not working).

 even get to that because it thinks it has no publicly routable address?

 Haven't tried letting it go that far (and it would fail anyway since I
 don't forward the port).

 I've been doing my development with `Address` set and haven't ran into
 this again, so I believe your diagnosis is correct.

 In light of that, I'm not sure if there's a bug here, it may be nice to
 have a warning when fetching the bridge descriptor fails, but bridges in
 the wild presumably have a real address and won't trigger this issue in
 the first place.

 Sorry for taking up your time, and please feel free to close this if all
 of this behaviour is ok.
