Short answer. Encrypted HTTPS(SSL or TLS) sessions aren't truly proxied. They're tunneled through the Web proxy. The contents of HTTPS sessions are, in practical terms, completely opaque to the Web proxy.

Which kinda leads you back, I guess to blocking the directory servers and a list of IP’s that you can generate by querying those same directory servers.

You gotta admit - they did their homework developing Tor, it does seem to work pretty well in hostile network environments!
