Comment (by mcs):

 Yes, breaking this was an oversight on our part (mcs + brade) when we did
 the work for #14272 and #20111.

 If I remember correctly, Tor Launcher now always passes SocksPort and
 ControlPort as arguments when starting tor. This works well if no one has
 edited torrc outside of Tor Launcher, and we wanted to ensure that
 toggling the use_ipc pref(s) would cause the right thing to happen. But we
 will have to think about how to support more scenarios.
