Yes, that's the problem in this context.

You can specify in /etc/sudoers that you want your proxy variable to be
preserved by adding this line:

Defaults env_keep="http_proxy"

Note that this allows any user with sudo access to MITM root's network
connections, so is not enabled by default.

We should really just make sudo pull in /etc/environment though, I
think.
