Comment (by arma):

 This is a result of bug #29175, which is in Tor 0.3.5.7, and fixed in Tor
 0.3.5.8, but Tor Browser 8.0.x (through x=6) still has the old Tor:
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 build.git/plain/projects/tor-browser/Bundle-
 Data/Docs/ChangeLog.txt?h=maint-8.0

 The eventual fix will be to wait for Tor Browser to move to 0.3.5.8.

 The workaround in the meantime is to put something (like "x") in your
 socks username or socks password setting in your xmpp app.
