I wouldn't think it is a direct proxy problem related with packman repo
because I usually use proxy and updating my systems are not showing
those issues. Although I can not assure a double proxy setting could
make any differences.

I would go with the hypothesis you are having something cached on proxy
web server and it doesn't refresh a clean request (flag request already
done)from packman repo. (Try to clean cache, fetch, temps on different
levels you are allowed-local, remote)

Any chances to try bypass the proxy server and making a direct request?
Just for testing purposes.
