Perhaps you could attach to the gpg process with a debugger to see
what it is doing, and why it isn't talking through your HTTP proxy?
Or if you have strace or similar, it is probably easier to replace
"gpg" above with "strace" (and make "gpg" a paramter).

Asking on a Windows-Emacs mailing list might help, this sounds like a
Windows-specific problem.
