There are three ways of fixing the dialog that spring to mind immediately:

 - Only use the proxy if GNOME is configured to use the same proxy for
   all protocols and this option is selected or an automatic
   configuration has specified a proxy for XMPP.
 - Change the text to "Use GNOME HTTP proxy" (which is mostly what the
   option is currently doing).
 - (better variation on the same theme) alter the dialog so that when
   HTTP is selected as the proxy type there is a check box allowing the
   GNOME proxy to be selected instead of the currently visible options.

All of these would bring the function of the option closer to what
happens.
