Comment(by asn):

 The log message appears when Tor tries to connect to a host, finds out
 that it needs to use a proxy, and then `get_proxy_addrport()` can't find
 the corresponding proxy address. At the moment, this can only happen when
 pluggable transports are used, and our transport proxy failed earlier and
 destroyed all its transports.

 Maybe we should refactor the code a bit, so that it's possible to output a
 more meaningful log message in this case, like: ''We tried to connect to
 bridge X using transport Y, but it seems like transport Y is not
 available. Did your transport proxy fail?''.
