Comment (by pastly):

 Some updates:

 - Updating to 03210 and continuing to use a Tor client (not a relay of any
 sort) did not help. Same tracebacks. So it probably isn't related to Tor
 version.
 - Adding the
 [https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/mirror_mirror_on_the_wall.html#can-i
 -get-descriptors-from-the-tor-process torrc options listed here] to an
 03210 client works!

 {{{
 FetchDirInfoEarly 1
 FetchDirInfoExtraEarly 1
 FetchUselessDescriptors 1
 UseMicrodescriptors 0
 DownloadExtraInfo 1
 }}}

 - The same torrc options in a 02915 client (yes, I've been upgraded to .15
 since opening the ticket yesterday) work

 New core theory: I only had all the available network
 status/descriptor/whatever information in my initial testing because I was
 using an authority for testing.

 I want you to feel free to close this ticket if it is too broad, too
 unhelpful, or just has a general air of unactionable noise.
