Comment (by torkit):

 Soooo, there are two problems on ubuntu. One seems to have been the one
 this bug described, while the other is pretty mundane: the installed tor
 .service-file in the distribution does not properly recognize the started
 tor instance and restarts it after the default timeout of 300sec. Which is
 weird, because the old tor.service-file did work properly with the
 provided package on the debian-tor-binary-package, and I just replaced the
 tor binary with the self-built one from the maintenance-branches.

 I've replaced it with a better suiting tor.service-file, and maint-0.3.3
 worked fine for the past 12h hours. I will recheck the maint-0.3.4-branch
 now.
