Comment:

 Tor Browser does not isolate base on ports.  The `IsolateDestPort` option
 is *not* set, and the domain isolator doesn't look at the port at all when
 it generates/retrieves the auth based isolation nonce.

 Eg: `example.com` via http and https use the same circuit.

 The only thing I can think of that's happening is that you really do
 happen to mean "port 800" which isn't a commonly allowed destination port.
 If you used an Exit that allows port 80, but does not allow port 800, then
 the tor daemon has no choice but to create a new circuit with a more
 suitable Exit for the 2nd request.

 This is totally orthogonal to isolation (which should be/is doing the
 right thing), and boils down to Tor Browser not being clairvoyant.
