I think I had a similar problem. It's a while since I tackled it, so I might
be wrong. In any case, I was having problems doing proxy with a rewritemap.
My reason for wanting to do this was so I could use the weighting feature of
rewritemaps to do weighted load balancing between frontend and backend
apaches.
I mailed Engelschall, but I hear he gets so much mail about mod_rewrite that
it takes him years to respond.
In any case, I have a patch to mod_rewrite that fixed the problem for me.
The breakdown of the issue was that mod_rewrite wouldn't do a proxy on a
subrequest.
Be warned: I think this patch causes problems with the automatic adding of
trailing /'s on URLs.

This patch is necessary to allow rewriterules to be applied to subrequests when
they are meant to be proxied. We need this to allow mod_include to get
/apps/include/pane.html from the app servers by proxy.
