For some reason I can't reproduce your results, but I agree that what you saw
and what the various tor log snippets show does seem to point towards a kind
of frontend caching proxy. This is unfortunate, but I don't see a way for
the dirauth code to make a mistake like this, and we'd expect other authories
would show the same symptoms if that was the case, as well.
