Downgrading to 1.6.3-2 makes the problem go away.
When you upgraded from 1.6.x, you must have got a dpkg conffile upgrade prompt, and you probably refused to merge your configuration changes to the new configuration proposal. This left you with a configuration referencing /var/run/tinyproxy.pid and /var/log/tinyproxy.log for PidFile and LogFile. This, mixed to tinyproxy now dropping privileges much earlier in the startup sequence (a good thing), caused your problem. Compare your /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf with /etc/tinyproxy/tinyproxy.conf.dpkg-new to see this and other differences.
