If this feature does cause problems, or if your app needs to bootstrap only from the authorities (Tails time syncing? [2]), the fallback directory mirrors feature can be disabled using the tor config option "UseDefaultFallbackDirs 0".
Thanks for the heads up!
(This is now tracked there on Tails side: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/11285)
Thanks for letting us know the Tails issue number.
For completeness, very-power-users can use the following torrc options to select their own fallback directories: UseDefaultFallbackDirs 0 FallbackDir <details> FallbackDir <details> FallbackDir <details>
As discussed already, if they don't add any FallbackDir lines, they will bootstrap from the authorities.
