Comment (by yawning):

 Isn't the correct fix for this is to make all the environment variables
 work?  (See #9936, among other tickets).  In the mean time, using cookie
 auth as in
 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorBrowserBundle3SAQ worked
 fine the last time I did such things, though I have since moved onto doing
 something a bit more elaborate.
