Comment(by atagar):

 Ah ha! Found the problem. The GETINFO config-text option was added in
 0.2.2.7-alpha, so arm's unable to fetch your current configuration (hence
 saving is failing and it thinks you don't have a config set). I wonder
 what vidalia does for this since this should mean that it's unable to save
 the config for the stable versions too...

 I'll add fallback logic so that it skips torrc validation (or offering to
 save the config) when that option's unavailable. Thanks! -Damian
