the bug you mentioned is #556293.

It has a simple workaround:
   $sudo visudo
then add the following line
   Defaults env_keep="http_proxy"
Exit with crtl+X and save the changes

However as you said it will sill not get keys when behind a proxy. Unfortunately all proxy bugs are not given much attention...
