Comment (by arthuredelstein):

 Here's a patch for review, where I suppress the IP and country name for
 the guard node. Instead, the circuit display simply says "Guard node" or,
 if there is a bridge, "Bridge: meek". This helps protect the user from
 leaking the identity of the guard, and it also mostly avoids the confusion
 described in this ticket.

 Here's how the circuit display looks with this change:
