Comment (by phw):

 Roger got a non-snap obfs4 bridge from BridgeDB that was also offline.
 Its vanilla port worked (and hence it had the 'Running' flag and was
 distributed by BridgeDB) but its obfs4 port would just reset connections.
 It may be that the problem of "BridgeDB hands out offline bridges" is
 really just a lot of smaller problems that come together.
