Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:23 nickm]:
 > Branch "bug9229_024" in my public repository has an alleged fix suitable
 for merge into 0.2.4 IMO, assuming it tests out okay.  (It works for me.)

 Are we sure we don't want an update_all_descriptor_downloads() call too?

 I'm thinking of a case where we have an adequate cached consensus, and
 fetching the bridge descriptor should trigger us to fetch our
 microdescriptors now.

 (That said, I think your fix is an improvement over the current 0.2.4
 situation, so it depends how far we want to go.)
