Comment (by lunar):

 I don't think it's related to `IsolateDestPort` in any way. Relay exit
 policy:
 {{{
 accept *:443
 reject *:*
 }}}

 Page is at `https://www.example.org/`. It loads a resource from `https
 ://another-host.example.net:4242/`. The circuit that has been used to load
 the page cannot be used to fetch this resource. How does the patch you
 mentioned handle this?

 I believe the correct behavior would be to use another circuit. Then it
 should be visible in the UI.
