Comment (by teor):

 I can't replicate this on:
 * Linux x86_64
 * OS X x86_64 or i386

 I'm guessing it's either:
 * a transient issue that's affected by the local machine and/or previous
 tests,
 * an issue that's since been fixed in master, or
 * an issue that only occurs BSD or Windows or a rare Linux configuration.

 Can you let me know which platform(s) are failing this test?

 I suspect this might be because that line depends on the result of
 router_pick_published_address(). One way to fix this is to set DirPort_set
 in the previous line, instead of ORPort_set.
