transactions from non-Tor connected hosts. So why are we talking about Tor
limitations in response to this? Shouldn't we be discussing how to address
the issues in Bitcoin proper?

You're mistaken. :)
If a node is used exclusively via tor it effectively doesn't have a IP address.
(short of bugs of a class that aren't discussed here)
The paper is about fingerprinting approaches that probabilistically
connect transactions to hosts that you can already identify their IPs.
