Comment (by arma):

 In theory, as a further step, Tor Browser could watch the stream events on
 the controller, and learn what the socks error would actually have been,
 and could tailor its error page by how the stream actually failed. If we
 wanted to recover the ability for Tor Browser to give an accurate error.
