Comment:

 tor doesn't report nor send `.onion` addresses to torproject.org "server".
 Relays are the one collecting statistics for the HS traffic and the
 _number_ of .onion they've seen while being hidden service directory.
 Furthermore, those numbers are obfuscated before being reported every 24
 hours.

 The tor client (here TBB) _never_ use .onion for reporting or even use it
 for any statistics. If you still think this is something your TBB client
 does, re-open and give us more details but that's absolutely not the tor
 intended behavior.
