Comment(by nickm):

 The *ListenAddress options affect the address that you listen on, not the
 address that you advertise.  Tor binds to the *ListenAddress, but tells
 everybody else that they can reach your server at the address specified in
 the Address option -- or at an auto-detected address if you don't specify
 an Address option.  Tor self-tests itself by connecting to the published
 address, since that's the same one everybody else is going to use.

 If you want to bind A.B.172.50 _and_ tell everybody to connect to you at
 A.B.172.50, then make sure to say "Address A.B.172.50"
