Comment (by tom):

 We talked about this at All Hands. At the browser level we are not really
 concerned about the error handling. It's not bad as is without
 modification and we think we can make it better with relatively little
 effort.

 So the path forward we like for this is to implement it in tor with an
 option on SocksPort that Tor Browser can set.
