Tor cares about the hostname it is told to connect to having the '.exit' suffix - privoxy won't modify that (afaik). What you want to modify with privoxy is the Host header, so the server you're connecting to can properly handle virtual hosting. So, you want a filter rule to modify the Host header and remove '.something.exit' from the end if present. I'm not a privoxy user myself, so I don't have any insight on how to actually do that, but I hope that helps.
