That's not my reading of this spec. The proxy prepends the header information
to the front of whatever the client is sending. The fact that the original
connection is encrypted is irrelevant. The PROXY protocol allows anything to be
tunneled, including non-encrypted configurations.

Why?

There is no requirement to encrypt the traffic between the proxy and the
receiver.
