QGis uses a QT class (QNetworkAccessManager) to handle the user
authentication,
so I would exclude this is a QGis bug.

Indeed if it were a QGis bug, e.g. an error in setting proxy host and port,
then connection shouldn't have to work also without authentication.

Both these problems may be related to a QT bug in NTLM(v2) authentication,
see at [1].

@Luca: running the python plugin installer under the proxy, does it work?

So to update the plugins we need to put the repositories in the white-list
