No it's really made in two steps.

The problem is that the lp translation needs to connect to the launchpad.net site and does so using the python xmlrpc library which *doesn't* handle all proxies configurations (yours is one).

The http client implementations specific to bzr works around the urllib2 proxy handling bugs which allows http[s] connections to work.

The bugs the python httplib library (used by both xmlrpc and urllib2 libraries) are known and worked on but they may not land in python before 2.7 or 3.1.

So there is no way (today) to give you the result of the lp translation.
