Comment (by arma):

 So, my 'third step' is suspicious -- on the second run, shouldn't that
 routerlist_retry_directory_downloads() be triggering some consensus
 fetches as soon as the bridge descriptor is read from disk?

 And the answer is:
 {{{
 May 14 23:32:11.000 [notice] new bridge descriptor 'Unnamed' (cached):
 $AF9F66B7B04F8FF6F32D455F05135250A16543C9~Unnamed at 169.229.59.74
 May 14 23:32:11.000 [info] should_delay_dir_fetches(): Delaying dir
 fetches (pt proxies still configuring)
 }}}

 So it does trigger the fetches, but they get cancelled because the pt
 proxies are still in progress at that point.

 Which leads me to ask: is there anything that gets triggered when
 pt_proxies_configuration_pending() transitions from true to false, or is
 it likely we have a race condition here if it takes a while to configure
 our PTs?
