Comment (by nickm):

 I can almost reproduce this, modulo other annoying startup bugs (eg
 #9229).

 (I don't have a working flashproxy setup handy, so I tried adding a log
 message to channel_tls_connect() to let me know when it was invoked.  Then
 I started with a single bridge *without* a configured identity.  When it
 started with full directory information, it called channel_tls_connect()
 twice: once with a null ID, and once with the real ID from the cached
 bridge descriptor.  So, I can try to fix _that_, though I don't think
 that's necessarily the issue here.)

 Can the behavior on this ticket be reproduced without a pluggable
 transport?  In particular, I want an easy reproducible way to make Tor
 launch the two channels as described here.

 I'm attaching the small patch that makes us log new TLS channels at
 NOTICE.
