Comment(by arma):

 A) I'm fine with this going into 0.2.3. Though you'll probably be
 decreasing the chances that future debians take this 0.2.3 update -- I
 think this would be fine as an 0.2.4 fix too. I think it is not a critical
 bug (we've known about it for years, and this fix isn't much of a fix) and
 thus doesn't need to go into 0.2.2.

 B) I doubt this is a bug on 'all released versions of tor'. For example,
 before 0.0.8pre1 relays would only extend on connections that already had
 a tcp connection open.
