See my patch from yesterday.

Have done the tests now:

--http-proxy-override works. The server configured here overrides the one from 
--auto-proxy.

--http-proxy-fallback works as long as no proxy is configured via 
--http-proxy or --auto-proxy. In that case ">PROXY:NEED_NOW" can be answered 
with "http-proxy-fallback <host> <port>" via management interface and the 
fallback proxy entered is used.

So, as expected, we're still fine regarding compatibiliy with these options.
