It seems like SDK 1.5 onwards, the -http-proxy flag also doesn't work. What did work for me is to boot the android image in the emulator and then once Android is running, go to Home > Menu > Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names and then setup the http proxy settings for the default access point.
