 Replying to [comment:1 yawning]:
 > Is this all obfs3 bridges, or just "some of the bridges in our default
 list are kapput"?

 So, this is interesting. If I make sure we only have one default bridge
 available (by commenting the respective 4 other ones out) then this works.
 Basically for any of the default bridges (although the second and the
 third ones don't really want to talk). However, if I just take the default
 nightly with non of the 5 default bridges commented out using obfs3 is
 broken. This does not happen with our 5.5a6. So, I'd assume this has
 nothing to do with the default bridges we ship.
