Comment(by mikeperry):

 See also #9072, which is another example of where an endpoint (in this
 case a malicious website) can manipulate your circuits.

 I think this rules out approach number 3 from the summary (because there
 are probably lots of these types of bugs), and hints strongly in favor of
 making sure that if you're trying to use a path for a given reason (SOCKS
 u+p isolation, etc), you keep trying to use that path even if there are
 failure conditions.
