Comment (by mikeperry):

 Hrm. I think my problem is that I am actually dragging the
 TorBrowserBundle_en-US app icon onto my dock in the first place.

 If I change the value of that pref in the toplevel TorBrowserBundle_en-
 US.app/Contents/Info.plist, the behavior of a docked TorBrowserBundle is
 the same.

 If I add LSUIElement and a true value to TorBrowserBundle_en-
 US.app/Contents/MacOS/TorBrowser.app/Contents/Info.plist, then there
 remains only one dock icon after launch, but it still doesn't behave like
 a normal docked app. There is no halo underneath the app, and clicking on
 it doesn't switch me to the app. Instead it seems to try to launch a new
 browser and then silently gives up. Worse, with this option, if I don't
 dock the app, there is no dock icon at all, and exiting the browser causes
 it to stay running in the background with no way to exit. I also don't get
 a menu bar for the app itself.

 This is on 10.6.
