Comment(by mikeperry):

 Ok, 7r: our current believe is that this is related to pipelining in TBB.
 I personally find this odd, because polipo also does pipelining... But we
 seem to at least worked around the bug by disabling pipelining at the
 about:config url window, but our efforts are currently complicated due to
 what appears to be heavy load at the moment.

 Are you willing to do some TBB testing? Can you try different values of
 the about:config setting 'network.http.pipelining.maxrequests'? Try to
 range it from 1 to 8 and see which, if any, settings work without issue?
