Not as well as we would like. Further improving our designs for combining PTs and adding an implementation is one of our GSOC projects this year though. My 0.02 dogecoin here would be to say "the PT combiner will fix it, so eventually we could do wfpadtools + obfs3/obfs4/scramblesuit/meek/fte and get the added defenses without (many? any?) code changes.
