Comment (by arma):

 My first guess is that tor launcher tried to look up info about your first
 hop, and for some reason your Tor client didn't have info, and so tor
 launcher is programmed to say "bridge" in that situation.

 If that is so, maybe Tor Launcher needs to be fixed to learn whether it's
 actually a bridge or not, and say 'unknown' if it isn't. But also if so,
 we should try to figure out why it couldn't successfully look up your
 relay (since you were using it, and so your Tor knew about it, and so the
 lookup should have correctly answered about it).
