New description:

 I started my Tor client (0.3.1.1-alpha (git-ab9976b7245f05a9)) with these
 three guards (and only these three guards) in my state file:
 {{{
 Guard in=default rsa_id=BB119A5A4D5DA2BBB7B796ECC50E3C0F1D4FD910

 sampled_by=0.3.1.0-alpha-dev listed=1 confirmed_on=2017-05-23T22:28:05
 confirmed_idx=2
 }}}

 I figured that since there were three, and they were all confirmed, they
 would be my primary guards.

 Also, my cached-microdesc-consensus file was about a day old.

 When Tor starts, it says
 {{{
 May 25 20:58:06.155 [info] sampled_guards_update_from_consensus(): No live
 consensus; can't update sampled entry guards.
 }}}
 Ok, great, it's not going to go deleting or modifying any of my guards
 before it's even tried to load my consensus file from disk. Makes sense.

 Then it goes through to update my three guards to say that they're not
 working:

 I'm guessing that happened because of entry_guards_update_filtered_sets()
 which got called from entry_guards_update_all(), but there are several
 possible paths to that function so I'm not sure which one it was. Maybe
 it's decided they're all down, since it hasn't even loaded a consensus
 yet, so they're all missing from the nonexistent consensus?

 Then we get to:

 }}}
 Ok, great, we refuse to expand the guard list now. That's good because we
 don't have any consensus loaded yet.

 Then I finish loading the state file, and load other stuff from my
 datadirectory, like the cached-microdesc-consensus file:

 Sounds good, I agree it's time to go get a fresh consensus.

 Wait, what? Where did these 2220 eligible guards come from?

 Did they get added to a list of potential eligible guards, when we were
 examining the old microdesc consensus -- the one that we then discarded
 because it was too old?

 That theory sounds plausible:
 {{{
 $ grep "^s " cached-microdesc-consensus |grep Guard|grep V2Dir|wc -l
 2224
 }}}

 That's bug number one.

 So we proceed to add an eligible guard, since I have 0 eligible guards in
 my set:

 }}}
 In fact, we add 20 of them like this. And these ones are filtered=1,
 reachable_filtered=1, because we just picked them out of, I guess, a
 consensus that said they were Running.

 After we add the 20, we hit:

 Ok, we've picked three. Then we see:

 }}}
 I had three perfectly fine primary guards earlier, but I had marked them
 down, so I guess we have three new ones.

 But then we proceed to ignore those three new ones too!
 {{{
 May 25 20:58:07.185 [info] sample_reachable_filtered_entry_guards():

 }}}

 That's bug number two.

 It looks like it launches a consensus download attempt to Yuman smoothly:
 {{{
 May 25 20:58:07.185 [info] directory_send_command(): Downloading consensus

 }}}

 And it launches a parallel fetch to an authority too, just like it's
 supposed to:
 {{{

 }}}

 Faravahar is way more responsive than whoever Yuman is, so by the time I
 get my one-hop circuit open to Yuman, I'm already partway through fetching
 the consensus from Faravahar:
 {{{

 But then

 }}}
 That's not very nice of us, since the guard didn't actually fail, we just
 opted not to use that circuit because another circuit was faster.

 That's bug number three.

 Ok, after a bunch of lines, I get my microdesc consensus from Faravahar:
 {{{
 May 25 20:58:16.296 [debug] Received response from directory server
 '154.35.175.225:443': 200 "OK" (purpose: 14, response size: 629424,

 }}}

 And we start acting on it:

 and we happily fetch the missing microdescriptors using our 3 (new)
 primary guards.

 There is this interesting tidbit:

 We marked our guard confirmed because we used it to fetch directory info?
 I believe that's what we programmed it to do, but maybe our definition of
 confirmed should be that we attached a 'real' (non dir fetch) stream to a
 'real' (3 hop or more) circuit.

 (We can call that bug number four if we like, but it's really more like
 feature request number one.)

 Eventually we get enough microdescs to convince us we should start making
 circuits:

 and we see those sampled_guards_update_from_consensus() lines for each of
 our 23 of our guards, followed by 23 of these lines, one for each guard:
 {{{
