After digging through release notes for 2.0.0.Beta2, see that this was fixed in JBREM-312, so is not going to work for 1.4.x. I did create (and close) jira issue for this for 2.0.0.GA (JBREM-575) along with test case under org.jboss.test.remoting.transporter.proxy.local that show it in action (is dumb test case, but you'll get the point). Can also view at: http://viewcvs.labs.jboss.com/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/JBossRemoting/src/tests... when ever cvs sync's up.
