Looks like HttpClient does not take into account http.proxy* system properties by default so they are indeed useless here.
I just created http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7544, will be quickly fixed (probably next week). Thanks for the report. In the meantime if the extension you want to install is on a Maven repository you can try to install it using "Advanced Install". The Maven repository connector does not use HTTPClient but Aether which maybe takes theses property into account (will check that also when I will work on XWIKI-7544).
