I see several possibilities here:
1-Security Zone
This seems one of the best explanations. I've tried fuzzing with the
configuration, but no luck. With same configuration on my browser, doesn't
explain why mine works on my demo network but not on the client.
2-"Enable IWA (requires restart)" option in IE->Tools->Internet
Option->Advanced.
This would seem another clear option. But once again, this option doesn't work
on the client side.
3-Network definitions
Some bizarre option could define what is a sort of Intranet. Same subnetwork
vs. differrent network. Subnetworks are pretty the same in my test network and
at the client. I intend to change my demo network to exactly the same addresses
at the client.
4-Group policy
Another possibility, as my computer doesn't have an exact same behaviour on the
client side as a browser belonging to the client domain. THis could also relate
to the fact that at the client, users are typically logged on to the domain
when access is made. But once again, doesn't explain why connecting though a
proxy should change this.
5-Special Headers
Rogan talked about the proxy introduced headers. I recall seing that at the
client, but also doesn't explain why the same browser with the same proxy
sometimes works and others not.
Seems probably there are at least two of the above messing with the results.
I'll be checking on the client side again this week. Will make network captures
to detail the information being sent. Any suggestions I may try them (like
testing it with Webscarab) and then will post conclusions back.

WebScarab did not (and does not currently) set the "Proxy-Support"
header mentioned below, so there seems to be some inconsistency here.
Yes, this is pretty weird. We definitely have inconsistent reports from
credible sources.
Perhaps this has something to do with the seurity zone? or some obscure
configuration of IE? I think Raymond is in a good position to find out, because
he experiences both phenoma (if I understand correctly).
