Comment (by mikeperry):

 Perhaps a possible solution for this and related problems (#13669,
 others?) is to make SOCKS username+password isolation optionally much
 stronger. If I set a torrc option like "StrongSocksIsolation", and I send
 a username+password that is already in use for a request, perhaps Tor
 should fail that request if it cannot re-use a circuit that was already
 used for that SOCKS username+password?
