Comment (by nickm):

 noted on IRC:
 {{{
 11:48 < nickm> What I would be worried about is the case where:
 11:48 < nickm> You have ClientTransportPlugin entries in your torrc
 11:48 < nickm> You have a proxy
 11:49 < nickm> but either you are not using bridges, or you are using
 some
                bridges with no transport set.
 11:49 < nickm> (It's allowed to have ClientTransportPlugins even if you're
 not
                using them, I hope)
 }}}

 (I haven't reviewed to make sure that this case works yet; it is worth
 testing.)
