How is it possible to use a publicly unknown exit, which should have no
exit flag, not appear in the consensus and therefore should not be used
by unmodified clients?

(I'm assuming that a client would only use exits if they are exits in
the consensus.)

Well, a bridge with an exit-policy won't be used as exit, even if
SingleHop is allowed. Or am I wrong?

(I remember that this is the case, since a bridge would see what a
client uses Tor for and is not bound by the Guard implementation)
