Apparently there is a difference in response when running
setup from a desktop icon versus command line.
You were not misled. Another detail is I am also using
--no-admin (but that doesn't seem to matter in this case).

The example above, when started from a desktop icon,
in windos 7 enterprise.

--------
Sorry, I missed seeing this before. The suggestion of testing
combinations of wget, curl and lynx with a few different user agents
was more than I had time for then, but I haven't given up.
I tried the above setup 3 ways. It doesn't help.
With Firefox user agent and proxy entered
With iE user agent and proxy entered
With iE user agent and use iE settings selected
Setup does not ask for username and password.
Wget needs those and gets them from .wgetrc or .bashrc.
Logs are below. The first 2 are very similar. 3rd is a little different.
I also re-verified wget still works with the same 2 user agents (or no user agent).
$ cat setup.log.full-proxy-ff-ua ; echo ; cat setup.log.full-proxy-ie-ua ; echo ; cat setup.log.full-iesettings-ie-ua
