Comment (by dgoulet):

 Hrm, just above the auth type value is actually put in the + 1 location:

 {{{
       extended_desc_cookie[REND_DESC_COOKIE_LEN] =
         ((int)s->auth_type - 1) << 4;
 }}}

 So, I'm guessing that the auth type needs to be b64 encoded thus passing
 the +1 len. Now why this is done only in the hostname field and not
 client_keys, I don't know.

 Did you encounteer an issue with this behaviour?
