Comment (by arma):

 I don't see how this is a bug?

 sometimes-tell-me-im-not-using-tor-when-i-am

 But in your case, it sounds like the opposite -- your traffic was going
 over Tor, but you maybe had your browser configured unsafely, and you
 wanted the remote website to somehow notice and tell you?
