Comment(by rekkanoryo):

 The reason this worked for you previously is that yahoo's login mechanism
 uses HTTPS, which I implemented an override for.  There is a yahoo account
 option that allows specifying whether the account-specific proxy will be
 used for SSL connections.  However, I changed the yahoo sign in process to
 be more like the official client, so we perform an HTTP request to look up
 the server to connect to (this is their form of load balancing).  The SSL
 option I mentioned doesn't affect HTTP--only HTTPS.  Unfortunately we
 don't have a mechanism for specifying different proxies for different
 ports/service types.
