 Hm, did you have a non-standard Tor Browser environment because the first
 thing that gets tried is the check via the control port. So, latency
 should not play a role here. Regardless, if latency played a role here I
 am not sure not downloading the update is the solution to your bug as I
 can imagine using tricks to deny the update download in those cases.

 It was reproducible by re-launching the copy of 7.5a1 that I hadn't
 updated.
 It went away when I updated.

 The Tor check failure might have be due to the increased latency I had on
 a wireless broadband link (in Australia, outside a major east coast city).

 How? By just taking a sufficiently outdated Tor Browser? (If so, which
 version did you test with again? 7.5a1?)

 This is reproducible, at least on my machine.
 It doesn't seem to depend on the exit.
 Tor is working, according to check.torproject.org.

 The combination of messages is a false alarm, and potentially alarming to
 users.

 I don't know: I was concerned that these conflicting messages could
 happen. I didn't check which one was correct.

 Was it really not working and it downloaded bypassing Tor? That would be a
 serious bug. Or was that just the `about:tor` page that was misleading but
 the updater did do the correct thing?

Comment (by cypherpunks):

 All the more reason why Tor Browser updates should be downloaded from
 {{{.onion}}}, no Tor = no screw up.
