Hi Roger,
> Who owns that socket file?
/var/run/tor/control is owned by debian-tor.
> Anything else in that other default config file?
The tor-service-defaults-torrc file contains:
DataDirectory /var/lib/tor
PidFile /var/run/tor/tor.pid
RunAsDaemon 1
User debian-tor
ControlSocket /var/run/tor/control
ControlSocketsGroupWritable 1
CookieAuthentication 1
CookieAuthFileGroupReadable 1
CookieAuthFile /var/run/tor/control.authcookie
Log notice file /var/log/tor/log

The ipv6 bind attempt was a try to solve the problem.
Problem persists with and without ipv6 bind attempt.
Thanks a lot!
