Comment (by dcf):

 Not sure if it's related, but when I restarted the bridge just now, I got
 in the server's tor log:
 {{{
 Mar 12 21:36:56.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 90%: Establishing a Tor circuit
 Mar 12 21:36:56.000 [notice] Your Guard [scrubbed] is failing more
 circuits than usual. Most likely this means the Tor network is overloaded.
 Success counts are 182/292. Use counts are 61/61. 282 circuits completed,
 0 were unusable, 100 collapsed, and 128 timed out. For reference, your
 timeout cutoff is 60 seconds.
 Mar 12 21:36:56.000 [notice] Tor has successfully opened a circuit. Looks
 like client functionality is working.
 Mar 12 21:36:56.000 [notice] Bootstrapped 100%: Done
 }}}
