Comment (by dgoulet):

 Replying to [comment:4 wagon]:
 > dgoulet, thank you! Once it cannot be fixed in near future, should we
 temporarily resolve it by documenting this bug as a feature? For instance,
 in `man torrc` for `Sandbox` option we can say that it restricts what Tor
 can reply (to some commands) through its `ControlPort`.

 Yes I do believe that is a good idea! You'll notice that the `Sandbox`
 option already has a series of other options that are documented to not
 work with it.

 Adding that this particular control port command would fail is the right
 thing to do. Would you like to contribute this patch? :) (file to modify:
 doc/tor.1.txt)

 Thanks!
