Comment(by mikeperry):

 But the circuit actually somehow transitioned its cpath state into OPEN..
 Not sure how this happens unless either the clock is not monotonic or one
 of those four cases reset the timestamp.

 One thing I can do is change the timestamp usage here from timestamp_began
 to timestamp_created. That should eliminate the four cases I'm concerned
 about without a substantial impact on liveness detection. I will push a
 branch for that shortly.

 That still might not fix the original cause, though... :/
