Comment (by yawning):

 This is a easy one.  There is one, and only one place where we call
 cpuworker.c:`cpu_init()`, which is in main.c:`do_main_loop()`:
 {{{
   if (server_mode(get_options())) {
     /* launch cpuworkers. Need to do this *after* we've read the onion
 key. */
     cpu_init();
   }
 }}}

 Your reproduction examples is starting tor as a client, so the
 initialization is never done.
