Comment (by manikb):

 Someone told me (don't remember who) that installing php-curl would solve
 this as wordpress will use curl to connect if it is available on the
 server, and curl will correctly use the proxy.
 I installed php-curl but no wordpress update since then, so I cannot
 confirme if it works.
