If the situation occurs often (ISP-run open proxies which must be edit-blocked), then perhaps a redirect to a "your ISP runs an open HTTP proxy at $IP_ADDRESS; if you want to contribute, you'll need to find a different way to get here, or pressure them to restrict the proxy to only their customers" page might be hacked in...
Generally we block open proxies using the template {{openproxy}} in the block summary. This expands into a more thorough message when they read the "you are blocked" page. So any additional information that might be meaningful in this case should be added, or linked to from that template. This will retroactively change the message presented to anybody else who was blocked with the same reason summary, if they attempt to edit from the same IP again in the future.
