New description:

 Load https://trac.torproject.org and observe that the favicon is getting
 loaded over the circuit used for all the other resources of
 trac.torproject.org. Now, open the Page Info dialog and the favicon that
 gets loaded again goes over the catch-all circuit. I think the expected
 behavior is to let the request go over the circuit for the URL bar domain
 of the page in question as well.
