Hello Paul, thank you for your reply, > DO NOT reply offlist. This is rude to the rest of the community. > Please don't top post.

I am sorry, it was a mistake while using iGoogle's interface instead of the regular Gmail's one (it always replies individually). As an advice, perhaps next time you could post this public example lectures as an off-topic subject, and reply to the technical aspects in another post. This way you don't pollute the main subject with side issues.

Of course I will be happy to help, I just assumed that it was an error on my side (given the reverse proxy setup) and not a manifestation of the bug. As soon as I get to the test server tomorrow morning I'll see what is going on and give feedback.
