Comment:

 Equal exit nodes are not a sure sign of same circuits.  The goal of
 circuit isolation is not to ensure that streams don't go over the same
 exit, but rather to keep any exit from reliably inferring that those
 streams are coming from the same client by sending them on the same
 circuit.  (And also, to keep any server from deducing that those two
 streams are likelier to come from the same client by making them more
 likely to come from the same exit than they would otherwise.)

 That said, it seems pretty weird to get so few distinct exits chosen.  Do
 you have any options set in your configuration that might affect how exits
 are getting selected?
