Comment:

 I don't think this is a bug in tor.

 Tor exits need working DNS, so they check for it on startup, and
 periodically. If the check fails, they try again. Eventually, they give up
 and stop being an exit. (For details, see the man page for the options
 listed below.)

 If you don't want this behaviour, set:
 ServerDNSDetectHijacking 0
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/chutney.git/tree/torrc_templates/relay-non-
 dir.tmpl#n11

 If you want tor exits to work when the resolv.conf file is broken (macOS
 uses a dangling symlink when offline!), also set:
 ServerDNSResolvConfFile /dev/null
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/chutney.git/tree/lib/chutney/TorNet.py#n885
