Comment (by mikeperry):

 If I remember right, this was due to an interaction between
 `__LeaveStreamsUnattached` and the pathbias code. There may be other
 interactions with how the bw auths build their own circuits and attach
 streams here, too.

 It may make more sense just to disable the pathbias code in the bw auths
 (or perhaps automatically in tor if `__LeaveStreamsUnattached` is set)
 rather than trying to make the pathbias accounting work properly in all
 arbitrary controller-driven situations of custom circuit and stream
 handling...

 At any rate, this is just log noise at this point, until the PathBias code
 actually does something other than log about low success rates.
