Is there some sort of attack possible here where you could hand out unique onion addresses to each visitor, so when they connect with Tor you could fingerprint their Tor connection and match it to their cleartext connection? *takes off his black hat*

No, since the redirect only works in the Tor Browser, in which case the cleartext connection is still a Tor connection.

Doing so you would only identify Tor exit nodes.
