Comment(by nickm):

 Indeed, we aren't generating END cells on linked connections.  The only
 way to get an BEV_EVENT_EOF out of a bufferevent_pair is to call
 bufferevent_flush on it, and the only way to get
 connection_edge_reached_eof() called with bufferevents is by generating a
 BEV_EVENT_EOF.

 Arguably, libevent's bufferevent pairs should also generate a
 BEV_EVENT_EOF when BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE is set on them, and you free the
 other one of them.
