Comment:

 Since Tor does not normally have an IPv6 address as stream target, this
 bug is (afaik) only triggered when doing reverse DNS resolution. From the
 control spec it is clear that the target will always end with ":" Port, so
 the fix is to only split on the last colon using rsplit.

 A patch can be found in the branch bug-9181 of my stem repository
 clone[1]. (Diff[2]).
