Your knowledge on the subject is a heck of a LOT more than mine, I assure you. :embarassed:
Searching for that article I quoted above (didn't find it) I put 'Tor vulnerabilities' through a Google search. It produced a lot of hits, one of the most interesting of which is here.
It is a slide show type presentation by the developers of Tor themselves to a recent cryptology symposium. They are ruthlessly honest about past, fixed and possible present vulnerabilities. It gets a bit technical but it does illustrate the minefield that glib offers of internet anonymity has become.
