Comment (by cypherpunks):

 Did this patch fixed it for all media or just images? Because, according
 to the logs, I see in Tor Browser 5.5.4 that images go through the first-
 party domain circuit, but other media such as HTML5 `<video>` and
 `<audio>` sources fall into the "catchall" circuit (the first-party domain
 seems to be "--unknown--").
