Since your Simple class implements the getChild() method, it is implied that this is not a leaf node, however, you are stating that it is a leaf node by setting isLeaf = True. (How can a leaf node have a child?).

Try changing isLeaf = True to isLeaf = False and you'll find that it redirects to the proxy as you'd expect.

From the Resource.getChild docstring:

... This will not be called if the class-level variable 'isLeaf' is set in
    your subclass; instead, the 'postpath' attribute of the request will be
    left as a list of the remaining path elements....
