Comment:

 Not a bug for the reasons weasel explained: the provided torrc allows the
 relaxed directory permissions.

 The `/var/run/tor` permissions problem seems like a Debian packaging issue
 rather than Core Tor itself, but I guess we're kind of the upstream for
 that packaging? (https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/)

 In that case it looks like the inconsistent `chmod 02750 /var/run/tor` is
 already removed in
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/debian/tor.git/commit/debian/tor.postinst?id=a55886272fff17109007c7240c2680bdfcb42877
