Note that my original post was to ovirt-users mailing list. See here for it:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-December/018735.html
(see what I got in /var/log/messages output there)
Tomas then forwarded to spice-devel too at a certain point.
So the doc links I referred were:

I'm going to test what you suggested and report
The test was made from fedora 19 in firefox browser and with spice-xpi
installed, against oVirt 3.3.2 beta (based on f19 too and ovirt-beta
repo).
In VM I had set "auto" for spice, so I think it should use virt-viewer
as it did, correct?
If 'auto' is set than it first tries to use the XPI plugin. If it does not find it
than the native impl (using .vv file)
And I also have pre-marked the Spice-Proxy checkbox (inherited by
global config set)
Does Spice Proxy work with both the plugin and the native
remote-viewer or only with the latter?
Should with both. For XPI we set the ".Proxy" property (with capital
"P") and for the native we put
"proxy=..." to the .vv file (with small "p") which is AFAIK correct.
If you are using the native impl could you please verify that the "proxy=..." is
indeed present in the .vv file?
