Comment (by entr0py):

 Looking at a related ticket, Initialize the SOCKS password to random
 offset at start
 (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/18787)

 It may be the case that the random nonce is a feature of the alpha
 browsers and not implemented in TBB-stable. If so, does the stable
 password increment only for dirty circuits? In my testing, neither `New
 Identity` nor browser restart incremented the password, which becomes an
 issue when using TBB with system Tor as filed in this ticket: make closing
 and restart of Tor Browser as good as New Identity
 (https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/20479)
