 Because Tor on the unpatched 8.0-RC2 is running well. (I know... but running) 
If you/someone can verify 8.0-Stable or Release IS running well with a current
Tor, I will gladly do that update.  


The 7.2-stable's Tor, used only as client and now in utmost updated state, 
fails AFTER the update.. 

BTW
After some time Tor fails completely.
This due to it's unability to fetch anything from any directory server,
I believe, and after some time it just drops  connections.
I dropped current cached-* files into the tordb, restarted Tor, which
leads to attempts to connect to nodes, directory servers and an almost
immediate loss of entries in cached-descriptors.new 
...         0 Dec  6 08:40 cached-descriptors.new.

done on the very updated box.
ato# openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007

and done on the very updated box.
ato# openssl version
OpenSSL 0.9.8l 5 Nov 2009
... but with another log:
Dec 06 09:29:02.459 [info] TLS error: <syscall error while handshaking>
