This is a known problem.  There are actually two quit menus in OTR
Proxy: the one in the application menu ("OTR Proxy"), which will
actually let you quit the proxy, and the one in the "File" menu, which
will have the behaviour your describe.   It has to do with some
particulars of wxMac and how it tries to hack the wxWidgets way of
creating menus into the Apple interface.

This is something that I'd like to fix for the 1.0 version of OTR
Proxy, but I don't know when I'll next have some time to look at it. 
If another OS X developer wants to take a stab at it, that would be
great.
