Yes, that is a problem, and to get around it I configured my proxy to silently rewrite certain requests so that they look like they come from en.wikipedia.org, but in reality they come from Julien's site. That allows me to get around this restriction (and probably GreaseMonkey would let you do something similar), but it won't be a viable option for 99.9% of people. For them, the suggestions need to come from the wikipedia (even if it's just a temporary two line script which bounces the request straight off to Julien's site).
Just to clarify, a greasemonkey script would allow anyone with: a) firefox b) greasemonkey installed (it's just a firefox extension) c) the appropriate greasemonkey script installed (*very* quick and painless) ...to do this without hacking their proxy :)
