Comment(by erinn):

 TBB could do it, but TBB's start up scripts (except for Linux) are a
 little bit hacky and all different. It won't be elegant. But it may be the
 easiest.

 Then again, doesn't this behavior also exist in situations where you have
 not actually killed TBB but merely stopped and restarted tor? In that
 case, TBB startup scripts are the wrong place and Vidalia or Tor will be
 smarter. I think.
