Comment (by teor):

 This could be due to a race condition where Tor starts a network
 connection attempt before you issue the SETCONF, then the SETCONF
 completes, then the socket connection attempt occurs.

 I'm not sure what we can do to fix this, but we might be able to make the
 race harder to trigger.

 Are you using 0.2.8.0-alpha-dev in 6.0a1?
 We refactored periodic events in 0.2.8, which might have made this race
 easier to trigger.
