Then I think the thing to do is urge the developers to provide some sort of global block list... Perhaps this is an issue to discuss on meta.
From what you describe, wikimedia would have to take a hsefline against *all* proxies on *all* wikimedia foundation wikis. This would then have to be enforced by a global IP block list...

We have bots that do that, grawp still gets through(part of the reason is that these proxies need to be blocked globally or else grawp can still abuse SUL and TOR to create accounts and make the required 10 edits before he has to find an unblocked proxy on enwiki).

can continue to use unblocked proxies until we block them all. ( Blocking *all* proxies is nigh on impossible because computers get comprimised daily... So new "open proxies" are created daily.)
Maybe it would if we could hook someone like http://www.1freeproxy.com/feed/atom/ (rss feed for just proxies) in so that they are automatically blocked, which i believe is Wikipedia's policy anyway.
