I don't know the details of how <Proxy> sections work, but there is an 
alternate possible explanation to what you are seeing :
*both* sections above are run, in the order in which they appear, 
because both of them match.
So the first SetEnvIf is executed (VAR=first), but the second one 
overwrites it (VAR=second).

I believe in this case you may want to use some RewriteCond/RewriteRule 
(mod_rewrite) to do what you want.
