Comment (by asn):

 FWIW, the simple patch I tried is:
 {{{
 diff --git a/src/or/main.c b/src/or/main.c
 index b0529cd..366d583 100644
 --- a/src/or/main.c
 +++ b/src/or/main.c
 @@ -1462,7 +1462,9 @@ run_scheduled_events(time_t now)
    if (time_to_download_networkstatus < now && !options->DisableNetwork) {
      time_to_download_networkstatus =
        now + networkstatus_dl_check_interval(options);
 -    update_networkstatus_downloads(now);
 +    if (!pt_proxies_configuration_pending()) {
 +        update_networkstatus_downloads(now);
 +    }
    }
 }}}

 This seems to happen on the second restart, because we've already cached
 the descriptors of the bridges, so Tor jumps directly to consensus
 download.
