Maybe Tor Browser should try to match the user-agent to the exit-node.

No. You can identify a connection as "Tor" in several different ways. That's not the point of Tor. The point of Tor is that everyone using it looks the same as everyone else using it. You want the Tor user agent to be, essentially, "I'm Spartacus".

Right now TorBrowserBundle user agent is the most widespread version of Firefox over the most widespread version of Windows, and I think it should stay like this.

Anyone can get a list of every single tor exit node, so it is pretty much impossible to hide that you are using tor.
