Comment (by ma1):

 Just released [https://noscript.net/getit#devel rc2], which should
 partially fix this: preference overrides by Tor Browser (or any .js file
 in $PROFD/preferences/, for the matter) are honored now, per !comment:4.

 I'm not sure this suffices, since some of the stuff showing up in the
 console seems (e.g. in !comment:7) due to the Tor customization machinery
 not expecting NoScript to be updated / disabled / re-enabled on the fly,
 and therefore references to objects from the previous instance becoming
 invalid.
