Comment (by arma):

 (We put the {{{__HashedControlSessionPassword}}} hack in specifically for
 Vidalia, when it was in just this situation: see bug #586.

 The goal is that you can specify a long-term hashedcontrolpassword in your
 torrc yourself, and also Vidalia or TorLauncher or whatever your
 controller is can generate one on the fly for that session, without
 worrying about clobbering the one you set. But it looks like we've lost
 this behavior in 0.2.5.x.)
