This is just a guess, but probably when the client asks for the server version the proxy is replying with its own version, not the version of the upstream server.

As such the 1.8 client is trying to use a 1.8-only command (because it thinks it's talking to a 1.8 server), the proxy just blindly forwards this, and then the 1.7 server chokes on it, for obvious reasons.

I suggest either upgrading the end server to 1.8 or downgrading the intermediate proxy to 1.7.
