Comment(by nickm):

 To be clear on what this is trying to achieve, from IRC:

 {{{
 20:29 < nickm> Hm.  So as you see it, it's a forward-secrecy thing s.t. an
                attacker who compromises the user running Tor should not be
 able
                to deanonymize anything already started, or read any keys
 from a
                tor process already created.
 20:30 < nickm> Where we both agree that keys already deleted and
 connections
                already closed at the compromise time are safe...
 20:30 < nickm> and that keys created and connections made _after_ the
                compromise are potentially vulnerable.
 }}}
