And until we have a UI you can use gsettings to configure proxies,
which seems as good as an environment variable but it doesn't add more
complexity to Browse and it allows to setup all kind of proxies (same
as GNOME control-center).

It seems like it doesn't work in dextrose but I think it's a system
level problem. It appears to work fine for me in debian wheezy +
sugar-build.
