Comment (by teor):

 On second thoughts, there is one scenario where TorBrowser could trigger
 this behavior on a system with a fast CPU and slow network link:
 1. Bookmark the same onion site 7 times in a bookmarks folder
 2. Wait until the cached HS entry expires
 3. Click "Open All In Tabs"
 4. If TorBrowser opens the tabs fast enough, it could trigger tor to
 launch 6 requests then fail on the 7th, while still waiting for the other
 6 to connect
