It sounds like the otr proxy isn't recognizing the message on the wire.
I suppose it's possible that the ICQ protocol has changed (I know gaim
recently split the AIM and ICQ protocols, which used to be the same).
But you say OTR works with icq+proxy <-> icq+proxy, so that doesn't seem
right either.

It definitely sounds like the problem is on the icq+proxy end, though,
and not the Miranda+plugin end.  You're positive you've got the icq
program configured correctly to talk to the proxy?  [Here's an easy way
to check: when you're logged into ICQ via the proxy, kill the proxy
program.  Your ICQ program should complain that you've been
disconnected.  If it doesn't, icq wasn't configured to talk to the
proxy.]

And just to be sure, you're using otrproxy version 0.3.1, right?  Not
0.3.0 or 0.2.x?
