I see. So the loopback traffic occurs on the local machine, the password is decrypted, and only then sent over the regular HTTP(S) connection (with this last bit being the only traffic on the SOCKS)?

Yes. Check your settings for your proxy to make sure you aren't sending traffic for localhost over the proxy.

(In Firefox, for example, it's excluded automatically.)
