 When a relay is configured as a bridge, both
 rewrite_node_address_for_bridge and networkstatus_set_current_consensus
 update that relay's node, as do any descriptor downloads.

 This can be problematic if the details they use differ.

 One user reports this can lead to direct connections being made to the
 relay/bridge, even when a pluggable transport is configured. We have been
 unable to confirm this.
