Comment(by mikeperry):

 Aha! The damn thing is an *already* opened 1-hop circuit. It's probably a
 tunneled dirconn, as I guessed earlier. But this helps us greatly: We
 certainly shouldn't be trying to relax the timeout on already opened
 circuits.

 I pushed a commit to mikeperry/bug7799
 (160a7b73715230c4509e9ca1088bd31ff1f7abaa) to fix this case. More may
 remain.

 Here's how you run that git branch to find out:
 {{{
 git clone https://git.torproject.org/tor.git tor.git
 cd tor.git
 git remote add mikeperry https://git.torproject.org/mikeperry/tor.git
 git fetch mikeperry
 git branch --track bug7799 mikeperry/bug7799
 git checkout bug7799
 ./configure
 make && make install
 }}}
