Been playing with the current client...

Can anyone second (via testing or code review) that its '-proxy'
setting does indeed shuffle *all* its traffic through the proxy (Tor)?

I've not seen stray packets yet.

Also, according to the protocol spec, the source IP is
send out as packet data. So I guess be careful what
you have it bound to.

I'm not sure if any other identifying data is sent out as
data (hostname, filespace, etc).
