Comment (by gk):

 https://www.dropbox.com/s/674t8y1o0s0vt8q/torbrowser.avi?dl=0 shows the
 problem (thanks ezio) and a potentially related one: once the reload cycle
 starts the extension menus don't open anymore.

 The extension menus not opening anymore, however, is independent from
 NoScript. It happens as well with it removed from Tor Browser. So, my
 current theory is that there is an underlying bug that is causing to break
 NoScript (and the HTTPS-E and potentially other (Web)Extensions) in a way
 that the reload cycle happens.
