This is technically a bug in Python's XMLRPC lib, see this bug report:
http://bugs.python.org/issue648658

To quote a bit:

  The current xmlrpclib can't communicate through a proxy
  server. In particular, the two Transport classes
  contained within xmlrpclib use httplib directly and, as
  such, do not support the proxy handling as offered by
  urllib.

I don't know if we can put together our own "xmlrpclib Transport" class, but it seems like it is a fundamental problem inside of python's xmlrpclib.

Is there a way to link a bug with Python's bugtracker?
