Looking through their copious bug reports on this issue, it appears they have been aware of the issue for several years. One more bug report on the same issue is not going to change anything.

The last thing I am going to do is jump through hoops, devote time to setting up debug and logging environment, only to have my efforts ignored, or to be told that they can't replicate the bugs on their end.

Some things just aren't worth the hassle. If they don't want people using Tor, this is their way of saying so.
