Thanks for the detail writeup.  Perhaps you want to view
https://bugs.torproject.org/flyspray/index.php?do=details&id=1225 and
the comments.

Or perhaps http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/Jan-2010/msg00253.html for
the current state of packages and fixes.

Technically, they just disabled it.  You can enable tls renegotiation by
setting CPPFLAGS='-DSSL3_FLAGS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LEGACY_RENEGOTIATION=0x0010'
in front of configure.
