Seems like we have the perfect opportunity here to file an RFE with skvidal for yum, and we have an intermediate fix that works in the meantime. As for the whole proxy thing, yum is known to choke on them, so it's a known issue and isn't really worth discussing on a list other than the yum mailing list.
In fairness, you might want to say that "yum is known to choke on proxies that don't support HTTP1.1" since it's a proxy problem, not a yum problem.
You are mostly right that discussing it here gets us almost nowhere.
