Comment(by mikeperry):

 We could demote the log message here, but then if you try to extend the
 circuit again, you'll just hit the other log message in
 pathbias_should_count() that alerts you to the fact that it had ignored
 the circuit previously (for being one hop), but then isn't.

 Should we maybe give controller-created/manipulated circuits a special
 flag for stuff like this? We do have CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_CONTROLLER (which is
 checked by pathbias_should_count()), but no one likes using it (including
 me) because it changes too much about how Tor actually manages your
 circuits...
