What this boils down to is that if you request a key, through ANY client
interface, that has not been _completely_ downloaded by the node, it will
send out a new request for that key.  No amount of hacking on fproxy will
change this.  However, the 0.4 node will be able to recognize that it is
already downloading that key and will not generate the unnecessary second
request.
