This looks like a bug.

Can you provide a minimal test case?
I've just tried it with this entry in my .ssh/config:
Host test
  ProxyCommand ssh -v localhost nc 127.0.0.1 22

And this command worked fine:
xpra start ssh://test/ --start=xterm -d ssh

The "-d ssh" should give you more details about what is going on.
It may be that your configuration is incompatible with the paramiko
backend, in which case you should be able to revert to openssh with
xpra --ssh="ssh -x"
But I would prefer figuring out what the problem is and fixing it.

Cheers,
Antoine
