aren't radio buttons auto exclusive just in respect of their immediate
parent? that in this case is the proxy?
i'm not sure that is really a buggy behaviour, they have no qwidget in
their ancestors, so they aren't linked...
a solution could be reimplementing the interaction with the parent
widget with plasma::frame (not sure how to do it, would be a signal
storm of some kind probably)

or using normal radio buttons in plasma::groupbox, widget that its
existence never convinced me.
either it is necessary to make radio buttons work, or should be
removed before 4.2, really
