I assume you mean the gnome-btdownload client, not the command-line ones...

Yes. gnome-btdownload does not wrap its downloads with
SOCKS proxy information from /apps/proxy.

Of course, it makes little sense for bittorrent itself to read from
GConf.

It's software problem, not us. qbittorrent, deluge do not use proxy (its just not working function), bittorrent and utorrent use proxy, but not all traffic is going with proxy. If you want to be 100% sure, you are safe, you must run torrent client in an VM with set up proxy (tor).
