Comment:

 Confirmed on master.

 Also confirmed on Tor 0.2.1.26.

 This happens because in resolve_my_address() we check
 {{{
   if (is_internal_IP(ntohl(in.s_addr), 0) &&
       options->_PublishServerDescriptor) {
     /* make sure we're ok with publishing an internal IP */
 }}}

 Once upon a time, this config option was named NoPublish, and we had no
 notion of bridges.
