Comment (by gk):

 Inspired by my previous comment I tried to load a modal dialog during
 startup but without it being visible before it gtes closed again. This
 works pretty well on Linux (surprisingly) and solves this issue there
 (tested on different computers with different distros) but alas on Windows
 the modal dialog is shortly visible. But even if I could fix this we would
 still have the Mac where all the crazy stuff is happening. It seems the
 content of about:tor gets loaded into that modal dialog instead of the
 browser window. So, this road seems blocked. But maybe the New Identity
 hint helps, like "clicking" the New Identity button before the browser
 window gets visible on start-up? If not, then I fall back to 3).
