Can you also add '-d' to turn on some extra debug output?

Does the a2aproxy log include any errors? If the xmlrpc call results in
a python exception, then something will be logged.
With debugging enabled you should see a line with 'archiver.names' for
every client request.
It is also possible that a2aproxy is returning some xml which violates
assumptions of the client code. With xml the obvious candidate would be
ordering. a2aproxy builds xml using python dictionaries, which do not
have stable/defined iteration ordering, which some xml parsers require.
