This could be even a security issue. People might rely on a proxy as a privacy feature. In this case the proxy should do forward/reverse DNS requests and not the client. Doing DNS lookups to check for proxy bypass doesn't seem right. I don't think that major browsers are doing this, at least Firefox is not (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136789).
