Comment (by rdump):
I am also able to reproduce the problem in Tor Browser 6.0.5 when a
separate alpha series is upgraded to 6.5a3, or is freshly installed, on
the same machine.
Updating an alpha series Tor Browser from 6.5a2 to 6.5a3 causes a
previously updated stable series Tor Browser 6.0.5, when launched
subsequently on the same Mac OS X/macOS system, to show the same control
port failure symptom. Ditto a freshly installed 6.0.5. This behavior was
noted on 3 separate Mac OS X systems (2x 10.11.6, 1x 10.12).
On the affected machines, the prefs.js edit to add
'user_pref("extensions.torlauncher.control_port_use_socket", false);'
allows 6.0.5 and 6.5a3 versions to both connect again.
This suggests the cause is coupled to the changes made in shared resources
at "~/Library/Application Support/TorBrowser-Data/Browser/..." by the
6.5a3 upgrade.
