Comment (by atagar):

 Ahhh, the log has the underlying reason...

 {{{
 Jan 03 15:10:57.267 [warn] Don't know my address while generating
 descriptor
 }}}

 This explains why the test passes ~70% of the time (sometimes we've
 bootrapped sufficiently to get an address, and sometimes we don't). There
 are two issues here...

 1. The control port's error response should get this reason rather than
 the log.

 2. If determining our address is a lengthy process our spec should state
 that it is a requirement for this GETINFO option and how to check if it is
 available.
