Hey Andrew, thanks for this additional data. It turns out that gnome has silently deprecated "enabled" without removing it. This means that all apps that rely on this setting are broken currently :/ I updated software-center now to look at the "host" value instead. If something is set there the proxy will be used. This will be part of the next upload.
